By the end of the year the business aims to be recognised on a world wide scale.

This is quite a large aspiration but I think that this may catch on. Of course, I might be absolutely crazy but they seem to be attacking a real niche market with this business idea.

Experts are worried that putting animals under that kind of strain will cause an increase in pet heart disorders. Pet airways have already announced that there will be an on board animal cardiology vet to take care of any flight trouble. Considering the un-predictability of animals health it is important to take everything possibility into account.

At the moment, Pet Airways serves New York, Washington, Chicago, Denver and Los Angeles and charges just 91 for a one way fare which is very competitive against the US Airlines prices to take your animal on a flight.

Pet Airways claims that it offers a very different and unique service for animals. Dogs and cats will fly in the main cabin of a freight plane that has been re-arranged and lined with carriers in place of seats. The animals, up to 50 at a time will be escorted to the plane by attendants who will check them every 15 minutes during the flight to make sure they are ok. Local animal hospitals from around the area have been in support over the idea to take animals in the sky by plane and think it is a great idea.

Pet Airways are looking to add more flights onto their schedule as soon as possible. In the next three years, Binder (The owner) hopes the schedule will expand to 25 destinations.
