Our Services
Our services combine aviation logistics, animal welfare expertise, and personal assistance at every stage. Each flight is managed with strict attention to detail, allowing your pet to travel privately, comfortably, and lawfully.
Private Jet Pet Transport Coordination
Our coordination team manages every requirement for your private jet pet transport, flight permissions, routing, customs liaison, and handling at both ends of the journey. We work closely with private jet terminals across the UK, including Farnborough, Biggin Hill, and Luton, ensuring complete alignment between your travel schedule and your pet’s itinerary.
Our approach guarantees that your companion boards and disembarks calmly, avoiding exposure to commercial terminals or cargo areas. From temperature-controlled lounges to private boarding suites, we arrange every comfort to reflect the quality of travel you expect.
Whether it’s a single domestic flight or a complex international routing, our operations specialists monitor your journey from start to finish. Continuous communication, flight tracking, and welfare reporting ensure you always know your pet’s location and wellbeing in real time.
Private Pet Air Charter
When complete flexibility is required, we charter pet-friendly private aircraft that meet stringent comfort and safety standards. Our network includes light, mid-size, and long-range jets, such as Citation XLS, Bombardier Challenger, and Gulfstream aircraft.
Each cabin is configured for space, airflow, and temperature regulation suitable for pets. We collaborate with operators licensed for animal carriage under DEFRA guidelines, ensuring your pet travels beside you in the main cabin, never in cargo.
For clients departing from major hubs like Heathrow, Manchester, Birmingham, or Edinburgh, our team handles coordination with Fixed Base Operators (FBOs), arranging boarding via private lounges and direct ground access. This eliminates waiting times and ensures smooth handling for both passenger and pet.
Aircraft selection is determined by flight distance, pet size, and cabin layout preferences, allowing optimal space for carriers, bedding, or free movement when approved by the pilot. Every element — from air filtration to in-flight lighting — is chosen to create a calm environment throughout the journey.
Veterinary and Documentation Management
International travel with animals requires meticulous documentation and timing. Our administrative division handles all DEFRA, EU, and international veterinary clearances, ensuring full compliance with import and export regulations.
We work directly with licensed UK veterinarians to verify microchip registration, vaccination status, health certificates, and destination-specific entry paperwork. For clients relocating pets to the EU, the US, or the Middle East, our team ensures that all requirements are met within the regulatory window to avoid delays at customs or arrival points.
Health checks can be arranged at your residence, preferred veterinary clinic, or our partnered facilities near major private terminals. We also manage couriering of original certificates to the relevant authorities when required.
This detailed preparation removes uncertainty, ensuring your pet’s entry into any destination is immediate and approved upon landing.
Luxury Pet Concierge
Our luxury pet concierge service attends to every comfort detail — both on the ground and in the air. From chauffeur transfers to in-flight catering, our team ensures that each pet enjoys personalised attention from departure to arrival.
Services include:
- Door-to-jet transfers in climate-controlled vehicles
- Custom bedding, blankets, and comfort accessories
- Organic or breed-specific meals
- Constant supervision by trained animal handlers
- 24-hour journey monitoring and updates to the owner
For clients boarding at airports such as Farnborough or Gatwick, we coordinate pre-flight relaxation areas and calm waiting environments to reduce travel stress. Our team ensures pets are hydrated, well-fed, and comfortable before departure.
This premium experience is particularly suited to those who view their animals not as cargo, but as valued companions deserving the same level of care and attention as any family member.
International Pet Relocation by Jet
Relocation requires detailed planning across multiple jurisdictions. Our international pet relocation service manages every stage, from pre-flight veterinary approval to arrival handling overseas.
Whether moving from the UK to France, Switzerland, Dubai, or the United States, we coordinate all customs and veterinary processes in both countries. Our partners on the ground handle destination clearance, ensuring your pet is reunited with you directly on landing, without extended waiting periods.
All flights are monitored in real time, with environmental data recorded for temperature, altitude, and humidity to ensure safe conditions throughout. For longer journeys, our operations team coordinates refuelling stops at approved pet-friendly terminals, where welfare checks are conducted discreetly.
Multi-Pet and Family Transfers
Families often prefer to travel together, and that includes pets. Our multi-pet private jet transport options are designed for households with several animals or those travelling with children and pets on the same flight.
We configure aircraft cabins to allow safe, comfortable space for multiple carriers or free-movement zones when approved. For large breeds or multiple dogs, we use jets with generous floor area and easy-access cabin layouts.
Every handler assigned to multi-pet transfers is trained to monitor stress indicators, hydration, and comfort throughout the journey. Separate meal schedules and rest intervals are managed discreetly.
These arrangements are popular with families relocating abroad or breeders attending high-value auctions and shows. By combining pet and owner travel into one flight, we eliminate unnecessary transitions, reducing total travel time and stress for everyone involved.
VIP Pet Flight Services for Events and Competitions
For clients attending Crufts in Birmingham, the Royal Windsor Horse Show, or international exhibitions, our VIP pet flight services deliver timely, professional transport solutions.
We coordinate logistics directly with event organisers, veterinary teams, and customs officers to guarantee on-time arrival with all documentation verified. At destination airports, our partners provide controlled access and post-flight rest areas to prepare pets for competition or presentation.
Each event transfer includes:
- Priority airport handling
- Coordinated ground transfers to venue or accommodation
- Pre-arranged veterinary checks
- Customs and health document submission in advance
We understand the importance of timing and presentation at high-profile events. Our role is to ensure your pet arrives calm, well-rested, and ready to perform or appear without disruption.
Pet Repatriation Flights
When bringing a pet back to the UK, accuracy and compliance are essential. Our repatriation service manages every requirement — including DEFRA import documentation, arrival inspections, and transfer to your home or appointed facility.
This service is often used by families returning from long-term overseas assignments, as well as diplomatic and corporate clients requiring confidentiality. We coordinate directly with DEFRA and Border Force to ensure clearance is immediate upon arrival.
Our handlers meet each flight personally, overseeing pet disembarkation, veterinary inspection, and ground transfer. Whether arriving at Farnborough, Luton, or Edinburgh, your pet’s comfort and safety remain our priority from first touchpoint to home delivery.
Each repatriation is recorded, tracked, and reviewed internally for compliance and service quality, maintaining our record of zero delayed entries in over 250 completed flights.
