Dubai-based Fly JetPets has teamed up with Jetex and Pawsome Pets to transform the in-cabin pet travel experience, offering a smoother, more luxurious journey for pets and their owners.
Fly JetPets is launching flight services that permit owners to travel alongside their pets.
Pets are intended to be integrated fully into the travel experience, with Fly JetPets providing end-to-end solutions for both private and shared charter flights, assisted by strategic partner Jetex and exclusive partner Pawsome pets.
The international pet travel services market is projected to hit US$4.6bn by 2032, with the Asia Pacific region expected to lead growth over the next decade. Allianz Partners USA reports that pets now accompany over 40% of middle-aged travellers and nearly a quarter of senior travellers, suggesting an increased demand for pet-inclusive travel.
“Too often, pet owners are faced with limited options, whether that means being separated from their pets during long-haul travel, having to travel in cargo, or navigating solutions that may not fully meet their needs,” says Gunawan Wahab, founder and CEO of Fly JetPets. “As a pet parent myself, I understand the anxiety and concern that can come with planning air travel with a pet. Fly JetPets was created to offer a more considered alternative, one that combines operational reliability with a pet-first mindset to ensure a safe, comfortable and seamless experience for both pets and their owners.”
Fly JetPets can arrange charter flights from nearly anywhere in the world to almost any destination, supported by access to a global network of private terminals and ground services.
All clients are further supported by a dedicated Personal Travel Coordinator who serves as a single point of contact throughout the journey, developing that crucial sense of security when travelling with pets.
“More people than ever are choosing to travel with their pets, not just for convenience but because they see them as family,” says Wahab. “Travelling with a pet is rarely just about logistics. It’s often tied to major moments such as relocations, new beginnings or long-awaited returns, and those moments carry emotional weight. We aim to simplify a process that can otherwise feel uncertain or stressful by offering solutions that are both structured and considered. Whether it’s arranging the aircraft charter, supporting pet documentation requirements or assisting with concierge services, we focus on ensuring every journey feels assured, seamless and respectful of the bond between pets and their owners.”
Over the next two years, with a focus on building an infrastructure that integrates aviation, animal welfare, cross-border compliance, partnerships, and data-informed routing, Fly JetPets intends to support the increasing movement of pet-owning travellers across major relocation corridors and long-haul routes.
