Fly JetPets introduces a new standard for in-cabin pet travel

The service provider offers tailored, end-to-end solutions for both private and shared charter flights, ensuring pets are fully integrated into the travel experience, working in collaboration with strategic partner Jetex and exclusive partner Pawsome Pets. Private charters allow clients to book the entire aircraft for themselves and their companions, while shared charters are arranged on an on-demand basis by grouping travellers with similar routes and timelines into a single flight. Both models are designed to provide flexibility, comfort, and continuity for pet owners flying across global routes.

The launch comes amid a significant shift in global travel behaviour, as the international pet travel services market is projected to hit US$4.6 billion by 2032, with Asia Pacific expected to lead growth over the next decade. This demand is reinforced by changing traveller expectations, with Allianz Partners USA reporting that pets now accompany over 40% of middle-aged travellers and nearly a quarter of senior travellers, underscoring a structural shift toward pet-inclusive mobility.

“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,” said 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.”

From arranging pet-friendly aircraft charters through licensed global operators to managing required pet travel documentation, Fly JetPets ensures each journey is executed with care.

Through its strategic partnership with award-winning global leader in executive aviation, Fly JetPets is able to arrange charter flights from nearly anywhere in the world to almost any destination, supported by access to an extensive global network of private terminals and ground services.   

For flights to and from the UAE, its exclusive partnership with Pawsome Pets, an award-winning IPATA-accredited pet relocation specialist, provides clients with trusted support in managing the documentation required for international pet travel.

All clients are supported by a dedicated Personal Travel Coordinator who serves as a single point of contact throughout the journey, ensuring seamless coordination across pre-flight, in-flight and post-arrival touchpoints. This personalised model is designed to scale with evolving traveller expectations while maintaining a high standard of care and clarity.

The Fly JetPets model is grounded in trusted partnerships that combine global reach with specialist expertise, allowing the team to focus on what matters most to pet owners: knowing their furry companions are in safe, experienced hands every step of the way. From departure logistics to destination handling, every detail is carefully managed to ensure pets and their owners feel supported, informed and reassured throughout their journey.

“More people than ever are choosing to travel with their pets, not just for convenience but because they see them as family,” said 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.”
