Last month, The New York Times featured an interesting article on the continued difficulty for pet owners to fly with their pets as many airlines now forbid brachycephalic breeds. As a result of this article that provided a brief mention of our services, hundreds of inquiries from all over the world have arrived for information. It is clear that that an alternative is needed in the pet air travel business. While understanding we can’t help everyone since the cost of private air charter is so very expensive, we are doing our very best to help assist pet owners with our Pet Jets Travel Club program. This program assists pet owners to find other members who are interested in sharing the cost of a charter with an FAA approved private air carrier. Pet Jets has effective today eliminated its annual membership fee and new members may sign-up via our website to be informed by email each week of our updated trip member requests. Members may also view available trips via Twitter: @PetJets posted each week. Members who want to post a trip share-a-flight request simply pay $19.95 for a trip posting on our share-a-flight page. Pet Jets monitors the requests, markets the requests and then assists members who want to charter together with finding the right aircraft for their trip.

In response to the pet jets share-a-flight program created last year and featured in Forbes.com and The Wall Street Journal.com, Pet Jets has created the Pet Jets Travel Club. According to Pet Jets owner, Brian Fiske, “it is clear that that there is a need for alternative air transportation for pet owners worldwide with the concern pet owners have with commercial air carriers. While there has been a great deal of interest in Pet Jets, the costs associated with private aircraft charter is expensive, especially with current fuel prices for many pet owners. Pet Jets Travel Club is an opportunity for a pet owner to share the cost of a charter with other pet owners interested in a similar flight.” Pet owners are able to have their flight requests posted to the members only site and other members are able view the posted requests. If there is a match of pet owners interested in the same flight, Pet Jets works with club members to locate the best aircraft at the best price via its network of FAA approved private aircraft carriers. Pet Jets does not own and operate aircraft, but provides its members with travel consulting and concierge services as part of its annual travel club membership fee. Annual travel club membership fees are deducted off the first aircraft charter for new members. Other membership benefits are explained on the www.PetJets.Net website. To join our exciting exclusive pet travel club or for more information, you may also email us at info@PetJets.net.

While companies that rely on business aviation represent many different professions and locations, they all have one thing in common: the need for fast, flexible, safe, secure and cost-effective access to destinations across the country and around the world. In many instances, business aviation is the appropriate transportation solution, opening the door to global commerce for small-community and rural populations by linking them directly to population centers and manufacturing facilities. The benefits of business aviation are clear:

•Business aviation allows for efficient, flexible, safe, secure and cost-effective access to destinations across the country and around the world. Because employees can meet, plan and work with each other aboard business aircraft, productivity en route is greatly enhanced.
•In many instances, business aviation is the best or only transportation option available, opening the door to global commerce for small-community and rural populations by linking them directly to population centers and manufacturing facilities. Studies have also shown that business aviation contributes greatly to local economies across the country.
•Business aircraft allow employees to make a trip involving stops at several locations, then return to headquarters the same day. Hundreds or thousands of dollars can be saved on hotel rooms, rental cars, meals and other expenses that would be needed to make the same trip over several days via auto, train or airline transport.

Sometimes we’re so busy flying around in these amazing machines we all call home, or the office, or simply the plane that we no longer see the heart beating inside. It’s easy to get caught up in the media hype and even downplay using or working on a private jet.

I had an experience last weekend that will make you all walk a little taller if you have anything to do with this industry:

On a beautiful morning on the ramp at Global Exec Aviation in Long Beach just before sunrise, 60 small crates with 60 small dogs were neatly lined up below a GIII waiting to be loaded, with their foster parents looking on. They were leaving California to find their “fur-ever” family through the combined efforts of a great organization: Orange Dog and the Edmonton (Canada) Humane Society.

Captain Ramon Manriquez, F.O. Dan Rosenbaum and Orange Dog Founder, Jan Folk

Orange Dog founder, Jan Folk was busy going from carrier to carrier getting to know each of her guests personally before boarding – and so was I. Jan had learned that there was a demand for these small dogs in Edmonton; she also knew that the shelters in southern California where she lives were overflowing with these little cuties, with little hope for adoption. It just seemed natural to her to load up a plane and take as many as she could up there the right way instead of shipping them in cargo. This was her fifth trip.

I learned about Orange Dog’s Freedom Flights and offered the help of Sit ‘n Stay Global, since we specialize in flight attendants who work on private jets and are specifically trained in Pet Safety Protocols, Pet First Aid and CPR. Jan was kind enough to accept my offer and I was honored to be included as a guest on this most recent Freedom Flight. What an amazing experience! The feeling of something “good” happening was pervasive. Everyone worked together; every step of the process went smoothly since everyone had the same goal in mind.

Once in the air you might think it was a bit chaotic with 60 pups on board, but a wonderful sense of calm descended upon the cabin in flight. It was as if they knew something good was happening. A few of them had a bit to say, but like any human passenger they calmed right down if I just went back and listened to them for a few minutes. Truly, it was far calmer than a full flight of humans to Teterboro . . .

We landed to one of the most joyous celebrations I have ever seen. It out-did most rock star arrivals . . . these pups were home! I thought some of them would be adopted before they left the ramp. They all took it in their stride, seeming to know that this was the best day of the rest of their life. There were volunteers everywhere that scooped them up and took them off to the Edmonton Humane Society which is a truly amazing facility that revolutionizes how animals are treated in shelters. I learned they wouldn’t last long there though, due to the amazing work the EHS and Orange Dog had done to get the word out that these dogs were on their way. There was actually a waiting list for each dog that had gone from virtually unadoptable to rock star in a single day. All it took was someone caring enough to use what they had available to make a difference.

So take a long look at that beautiful shiny tube as you approach it next time and realize what truly important things it can accomplish. Sure, we get a lot of business done up there and it is a great convenience and time saver. It enhances security and cuts all sorts of red tape, but it can also be used as a real instrument for good and can change lives and we can each be a part of it. Believe me, it feels really good!

Private aircraft charter is a key to success to many individuals and corporations that understand the value of time! No matter who you are, the commodity of time is truly valuable.  These aircraft are truly today’s time machines that allow business owners to visit multiple cities in one day, provide vital transportation to cities and towns that do not have airline service and allow families to extend a well deserved vacation instead of spending precious time connecting on multiple flights. In the U.S., companies that provide aircraft charter must be approved by the FAA as a Part 135 air carrier as well as the aircraft they operate and the pilots that fly them.


Consumers should insure air carriers provide documentation that the company is FAA approved as well as the aircraft they plan to charter. Charter companies can also provide the flight experience of each pilot as well as the dates that they last attended training. Aircraft captains typically attend training every six months and co-pilots once per year. Air carriers should also be able to provide evidence of liability insurance for their company as well as the aircraft.
