Looking to take flight with your beloved canine companion but frustrated by the restrictive policies of commercial airlines? K9 JETS, a private jet company, has just unlocked exciting new possibilities for pet owners.

K9 JETS has launched a brand-new private jet service for dogs and owners travelling from Dubai to the UK.

The inaugural flight took off from the private jet terminal at Al Maktoum International Airport, Dubai on September 26 and flew into Farnborough, UK. Tickets were priced at $9,925 including a seat for one passenger and a space in the cabin for a canine companion.

The new Dubai-London route will see regular flights take place throughout 2023 and 2024 from December across January, April, July, and September with further dates set to be announced, the company said.

According to the International Pet and Transport Association (IPATA), over 4 million pets and live animals are transported by air per year. Pet travel is set to continue to rise globally, and with this new Dubai-London route, K9 JETS aims to meet the demand for UAE-based passengers travelling and relocating back to the UK with their beloved pets.
