This Airline for Dogs (and Their Humans) Is Expanding Flights Across the U.S. and Europe
Briefly

Bark Air, a dog-first airline, launched in May 2024 and has since expanded its routes to include destinations like Paris, Lisbon, and Madrid. The airline aims to treat dogs as VIP guests rather than cargo, offering amenities such as calming aids, treats, and beverages during flights. One-way tickets can cost around $8,900 from New York to London, with staggered flight schedules. While focused on dogs, the airline allows other pets like cats and birds, provided they remain in a carrier during the flight.
When we launched Bark Air last year, our goal was to challenge the norms of dog travel by creating an experience that treats dogs not as cargo, but as VIP guests. One year later, we're proud to have delivered on that promise, offering thousands of dogs and their humans a stress-free, joy-filled way to explore the world together.
Bark Air operates a fleet of primarily Gulfstream G4 and G5 aircraft complete with comfortable seating, amenities like calming aids and treats, and plenty of space for dogs to roam. Dogs are served "their beverage of choice" during ascent and descent "to prevent ear discomfort commonly caused by change in cabin pressure."
