PET AIRWAYS, AN AIRLINE FOR PETS?
When we taught we have heard it all, here comes Subair.com configured and operated Pet-Airways, the exclusive pets only airlines! We have commented on pet hotels including San Francisco five-star Wag-Hotel; pet spa and podicure centers; pet taxi service; pet daycare centers, pet shopping centers; pet food stores and pet clinics. But the mother of it all seem to be an airline for pets, which seem to have broken all previous dotting pecks for pets?
Icheoku says, give it up to Alysa Binder and Dan Wiesel of New York for this clever and surely better option to get pets around, from one US city to another. Pet Airways with a fleet of five planes, was specifically designed for the needs of our four-legged friends and business is booming with flights fully booked for the next two months.
For now, Pet Airways will fly pets between five major US cities of New York, Washington, Chicago, Denver, and Los Angeles at a cost of $250 one-way fare? Dogs and cats will fly in the main cabin of the plane, retooled and lined with carriers in place of seats. Pets (about 50 on each flight) will be escorted to the plane by attendants that will check on the animals every 15 minutes during flight. The pets are also given pre-boarding walks and bathroom breaks. And at each of the five airports it serves, the company has created a "Pet Lounge" for future fliers to wait and sniff before flights. Other logistics for the operations of the pets-only airline has been worked out and a visit to http://www.petairways.com/ will provide you needed information.
However, one analyst expressed doubt about the viability of such venture and whether enough market exist for it? According to her, "I'm not sure how sustainable it is, but if people are trying to go for a first-class service, it could make sense." As for Icheoku.com, we wish them good luck! Happy flying years, Pet Airways!
