Civil Aviation Resources Network News on April 29, 2024: According to comprehensive foreign media reports, BARK, a canine product company, recently launched BARK Air, an exclusive airline for dogs, focusing on a "dog-oriented" flight experience, subverting the previous restrictions on dog boarding by airlines, so that dogs and owners can enjoy in-flight services together. The airline will make its maiden flight on May 23, with one-way fares of about $6,000 to $8,000.
Committed to solving the problems that often arise when humans travel with pet dogs, BARK Air announced on April 11 that it has partnered with a charter flight in the United States to launch BARK Air, welcoming dogs of all sizes and breeds on board, and designing flight journeys specifically for dogs.
BARK Air's goal is to replicate the human experience of flying in first class, pampering dogs throughout long-haul flights. Once the owner has booked the ticket, the BARK Air person in charge will collect the dog and the owner's travel plan, and passengers only need to arrive at the airport 1 hour before departure to easily check in. Dogs can wait for boarding in the "Dedicated Lounge" while passengers go through security at the airport, and there are dedicated staff to guide them on board the aircraft.
Once on board, the dog will be equipped with music, colours, etc., and to avoid discomfort caused by changes in cabin pressure, the dog will also receive a supply kit with calming snacks and drinks, noise-cancelling earmuffs and more.
"When we founded BARK in 2011, our mission was to disrupt the space for dogs and create products designed for dogs and their owners," Bark Air said in a statement. We're excited to create a truly dog-oriented experience. ”
