Traveling with Pets

"If you're taking it overseas, you'll have to put it in the cargo hold, right..."
"Private jets? That's something you see in the movies, right?"

Are you hesitating to travel abroad or relocate with your beloved dog or cat because you feel that way?

While it's still relatively unfamiliar in Japan, globally speaking,"Flying with your pet in the seat next to you" is a "realistic option" for those who cherish their family.is becoming.

This article introduces a new travel style: crossing borders stress-free with your precious family (including pets) using **business jets (private jets)**, which are commonly used overseas.

01. Imagine the Journey

🐾 For example, imagine a journey like this

This is no fairy tale. It's the everyday reality of air travel experienced by PetAir customers.

1. At the FBO (Fixed Base Operator) in the early morning

Stepping out of the private car, there is none of the airport's usual crowds or clamor. Only a quiet lounge bathed in sunlight remains.
No more long check-in lines or strict baggage inspections. And best of all, you never have to leave your beloved pet in a cold metal cage.
Welcomed by staff, I take a moment to relax on the sofa with a cup of coffee in hand. At my feet, as always, lies my beloved dog, completely at ease. The moment I arrive at the airport, a comfortable journey has already begun.

2. The corridor leading to the aircraft, and then to the cabin

Once you're ready, head straight to the gangway. What awaits you at the top is like..."Flying Suite"It's a space like that.
The seat is spacious and soft, offering enough room for even large dogs to stretch out and lie down on the floor.
Once seated, your pet will naturally settle at your feet or on the adjacent sofa. You won't see that anxious look on their face from being confined in a cramped crate. Even during takeoff, they can stay right beside you, feeling secure while taking in your scent.

3. Precious moments spent in the sky

At 10,000 meters altitude. A dog sleeps peacefully, bathed in sunlight streaming through the window. A cat curls up on its favorite blanket.
We ate while gazing at it, took photos, and laughed together. This was a scene that would have been absolutely unthinkable during the previous "cargo hold transport."
While you're eating, the staff will bring you water or serve you snacks. It's truly a place where...“My Living Room Floating in the Sky”That's exactly it.

4. Arrival at the destination. When the door opens, a new world awaits.

Destinations include Hawaii, London, Singapore, or Dubai. Before you know it, you'll be under foreign skies while your pet sleeps beside you.
Even after arrival, the immigration process is smooth thanks to thorough preparation beforehand. There's no need to tire your pet with long waits.
Head straight to a hotel with lawns where your beloved dog can run freely, or head to a seaside villa. With zero time apart, your new life begins.

02. Why Private Jet?

🧭 Why are private jets being chosen now?

The reason for choosing this mode of transportation is not simply "luxury."
Because it is the most rational choice for protecting the "life" and "heart" of pets who cannot speak.
The cargo hold of a commercial aircraft inevitably carries unavoidable risks—noise, extreme temperature fluctuations, isolation, loading errors, and more. A business jet eliminates all these concerns.

  • Treat as "passengers" rather than "cargo"Atmospheric pressure and room temperature are maintained at levels close to those on the ground, ensuring a comfortable environment for humans. The physical strain on the body is minimized to the greatest extent possible.
  • Suitable for brachycephalic breeds and senior dogsBred for short snouts, breeds like pugs and French bulldogs are often denied boarding on many commercial flights due to respiratory risks. However, on business jets equipped with pressurization systems, they can safely fly alongside their owners under veterinary supervision.
  • Even large dogs can roam freely in a "cage-free" environment.Depending on the equipment, even large dogs can relax freely in their own space onboard without being confined to a small cage.
  • A completely private spaceNo other passengers are present. No need to worry about things like "What if they bark?" or "Will the smell be okay?" Even sensitive pets can relax.
  • Minimize stress with direct flightsAvoid layover wait times and the risk of accidents during transfers—fly straight to your destination.

04. Our Merit

🛫 The "Decisive Reason" for Choosing PetAirJPN

"If you pay the money, we can arrange a jet."
However, "arranging for the flight" and "ensuring the pet can legally enter the country" are entirely separate issues.
This is why many owners choose PetAirJPN.

✅ 1. Complete flight arrangements and quarantine procedures in one stop

When arranging a private jet yourself, you must simultaneously handle not only schedule coordination with the airline, but also all specialized communications with animal quarantine offices and veterinarians (rabies antibody testing, import permits, government agency endorsements, etc.). This is extremely complex and requires significant effort.

PetAirJPN collaborates with ANA Business Jet and ACS, enabling us to link and manage "flight arrangements" and "quarantine schedule management" together.
Significantly reduces the hassle for customers of having to communicate separately with both the airline and quarantine authorities.We support smooth travel by minimizing the risk of schedule conflicts and document deficiencies.

✅ 2. Select the "best aircraft" from a neutral standpoint

We are not an airline. That's precisely why we can compare and recommend options from a neutral standpoint—whether it's an ANA aircraft or an ACS charter—tailored to your pet's size, number of animals, and budget.

✅ 3. Collaborative Team with Veterinarians and Specialists

We provide comprehensive support from both veterinary and legal perspectives, including health checks for senior dogs and microchip verification tailored to destination country regulations.
Consult PetAirJPN for the absolute minimum preparation required. We handle all the tedious procedures, coordination with various companies, and document preparation support.

📩 Why not start by discovering what's possible?

Traveling by private jet is not something you experience very often in life. That's precisely why you absolutely don't want to make a mistake.

"Although no specific date has been set yet, I am considering moving there in the future."
"I want to know if even my large dog can really go to Hawaii."

Even at this stage, it's perfectly fine. Please feel free to contact us via PetAir's official social media channels.
Our knowledgeable concierge will provide you with attentive assistance.
