Along with providing luxurious and stress-free flights, ⁤VistaJet actively assists travelers⁣ by curating a selection of pet-friendly travel locations.

With a dedicated team‌ of over 4,000 aviation professionals who meticulously attend to every ⁤detail, we​ are committed to making travel experiences truly⁣ exceptional,” stated Matteo Atti, Chief Marketing Officer at VistaJet.

According to Euromonitor International’s ⁤latest ​report, the estimated value of the pet care market ‌in the Asia Pacific region is expected to reach USD 29 billion by ​2024. This sector is anticipated to grow at‍ an impressive compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4% from 2024 through 2029—nearly double that of North America (2.5%) and Western Europe (2.1%). This trend highlights the increasing importance placed on accommodating⁣ pets during‌ travels.

Sence its inception in 2019, VistaPet has addressed various needs and​ challenges associated⁣ with traveling alongside animals by developing solutions in collaboration with seasoned veterinarians, trainers, nutritionists, and groomers.

The offerings within the ​VistaPet program include:

• VistaPet Pochette: A travel kit provided on every flight containing organic treats for ⁤pets along​ with‍ waterless shampoos, ​calming wipes, and toys.
• personalized ‌Dining: A specialized menu available upon request featuring fresh meats or fish alongside raw vegetables and whole grain ⁣brown rice.
• Aviation Anxiety Workshops: conducted in partnership ⁢with The Dog House at⁣ select locations aimed at assisting owners traveling with anxious pets.

data from ⁣VistaJet ⁢indicates that dogs have consistently been the predominant type of pet passenger throughout both 2023 and into early 2024. Interestingly enough though; some unique passengers welcomed aboard included a blue-tongued skink‍ and a Sulcata tortoise—both exhibiting considerable⁢ enjoyment during their ⁢flights.

“We were delighted to assist a family traveling with two elderly Great Danes ​along with their‍ cat and an​ impressive Sulcata tortoise on one particular flight. To ensure⁢ all animals were comfortable—especially the tortoise—we activated heated flooring within the cabin mimicking its natural habitat ⁤which provided peace‍ of⁤ mind for their owners,” added ⁤Matteo Atti.
