Recently, there was a surprise news from the American airlines, that is, the world's first "dog airline" is about to start business. This can be said to be a groundbreaking move in the field of aviation, and no matter what the outcome of this attempt will be, it is enough to cause a lot of discussion.
After all, pet aviation has always been a difficult problem to solve, and many airlines today do not actually provide related services, even if pets are allowed to fly, there will be a series of restrictions. Judging by the news coming out today, the American company will carry out its first flight from the airport in upstate New York to Los Angeles on May 23, and will also launch a route to London in the future.
At present, many airlines even allow pets to fly, in most cases they will require small dogs to lie under the front seats, and large dogs can only be in the cargo hold. This is actually a big psychological impact on pets, and it is precisely because of this that many times pet owners do not take their pets on airplanes.
"Dog Airlines" is a virtual airline established by Buck, a well-known dog supply company in the United States, which will mainly lease the planes of the charter company, which also means that the airline's executive commercial airlines' aircraft are leased. This model can effectively reduce operating costs.
Buck's products involve dog toys, dog supplies and dog food, and the company has been committed to promoting the development of dog culture, and has a lot of experience in the field of related pets, so it is understandable that it will try to build an airline that serves dog travel.
In addition to the associated corporate culture influences, Buck's decision to set up a dog airline was also related to the fact that he believed that there was a lot of business opportunity in the industry. After all, judging from the current situation, when some families go out, they often change their travel mode due to pet problems, such as changing the plane to self-driving, which actually has a lot of market feasibility.
Judging from the current news, Dog Air will be committed to providing a good riding experience for pet dogs. There are not only special seats, but also some calming snacks, noise-canceling headphones and other products, but also after booking tickets with the pet owner to contact the pet owner, through the way of collecting pet-related information, and make relevant preparations, there will also be relevant staff to help the pet dog to solve the air pressure changes, relationship with other pets and other problems.
Although it has not officially started operations, Dog Air has now opened bookings, and judging from the current news, the price of the package ticket from New York to Los Angeles is $6,000, which includes a ticket for one person and a pet dog. If you're flying from New York to London, it's $8,000.
In terms of price, this is not cheap, and it can even be said to be very expensive, so it is still difficult to determine the future operation of the airline. However, overall, the business scale and number of flights of dog airlines should not be too much, and they may focus more on some users with clear needs.
However, this is actually a good attempt, after all, pets flying has always been an unsolved problem, especially in a country with a large number of dog families like the United States, there is a lot of demand. For Buck, this attempt is also a good publicity process, which can effectively increase visibility.
