Pet-Friendly Private Jet

For many of our clients, travelling with their pets is not negotiable. Commercial airlines offer limited options. Small animals in carriers under the seat, larger animals in the cargo hold, and breed restrictions that make flying with certain dogs impossible. None of these compromises apply on a private jet.

Bluelink arranges pet-friendly private jet charters where your animal travels with you in the cabin, with no carrier restrictions, no cargo hold, and no separation. It is the safest, most stress-free way to fly with a pet.

How Pet Travel Works on a Private Jet

On a private charter, your pet is a passenger not cargo. Here is what that means in practice:

•  In-cabin travel : Your dog, cat, or other pet stays with you in the main cabin for the entire flight.
•  No size or breed restrictions : Large dogs, brachycephalic breeds, or animals that commercial airlines refuse are all welcome.
•  No carrier requirement : Your pet can rest on the cabin floor, on a seat, or wherever they are most comfortable.
•  Climate control: The cabin is maintained at a comfortable temperature throughout the flight. No risk of temperature extremes in a cargo hold.
•  Reduced stress: Familiar faces, a quiet environment, and no airport terminal crowds make the experience dramatically less stressful for animals.

Your Bluelink account manager will recommend the most suitable aircraft based on your specific requirements, not based on what happens to be available in a single fleet.

International Pet Travel and Documentation

Flying internationally with a pet involves specific documentation requirements that vary by destination country. Common requirements include:

•  EU Pet Passport or health certificate issued by a licensed veterinarian
•  Current rabies vaccination (typically required at least 21 days before travel)
•  Microchip identification
•  Country-specific requirements (e.g., tapeworm treatment for UK entry)

Bluelink’s team is experienced in international pet travel regulations. When you tell us you are travelling with an animal, we advise on the documentation requirements for your destination and confirm that everything is in order before departure.

Why Private Aviation Is Better for Pets

The cargo hold of a commercial aircraft is a pressurised but isolated space. Temperature fluctuations, noise, turbulence, and the extended time your animal spends in transit (from check-in to pickup) create genuine risks. Particularly for larger animals, older pets, and breeds with respiratory sensitivities.

A private jet eliminates every one of these risks. Your pet is with you from door to door. The entire journey, from departure to arrival is measured in hours, not the half-day ordeal that commercial pet travel typically involves.

Arranging a Pet-Friendly Charter

When you request a quote from Bluelink, simply let us know you will be travelling with a pet. We will factor this into the aircraft selection, some cabins are better suited to animals than others and ensure all ground arrangements accommodate your pet as well, including vehicle transfers and any necessary handling at departure and arrival airports.

There is no surcharge for travelling with pets on a Bluelink charter. Your animal is part of the trip, not an add-on.
