For many travellers, pets are more than companions - they’re family. Whether it’s a beloved dog, a pampered cat, or a well-travelled parrot, our four-legged (or feathered) friends often accompany us on life’s greatest journeys. But navigating the rules, restrictions, and discomforts of commercial airline travel can make flying with pets stressful.
For many travellers, pets are more than companions - they’re family. Whether it’s a beloved dog, a pampered cat, or a well-travelled parrot, our four-legged (or feathered) friends often accompany us on life’s greatest journeys. But navigating the rules, restrictions, and discomforts of commercial airline travel can make flying with pets stressful.
That’s why more pet owners are turning to private aviation. At Villiers Jets, we make travelling with pets not only possible, but seamless, safe, and comfortable, for both pets and their humans.
The Rise of Pet-Friendly Private Jet Travel
Private jet travel with pets has become an increasingly popular choice for high-net-worth individuals, families, and even relocating professionals who want to ensure their animals are well cared for in transit. Instead of being confined to a carrier in the hold, pets on private jets can stay with their owners throughout the flight, enjoying the same level of comfort and care as their humans.
Villiers Jets has seen a growing number of requests from clients wanting to travel with pets, whether for holiday escapes, international moves, or extended stays abroad. Thanks to our global aircraft network and personal concierge services, we help make those journeys smoother than ever.

Flying Your Pet with Villiers Jets: What to Expect
When flying privately with Villiers, the pet travel experience begins well before takeoff. Our expert team will walk you through every step of the process, from advising on the latest pet travel regulations to ensuring the aircraft is properly configured for your furry friend.
Depending on the route and destination, your pet may require documentation such as a pet passport, proof of vaccinations, or a recent vet check. Our team ensures you’re fully informed and prepared, so there are no surprises along the way.
On the day of travel, pets are welcomed aboard in the cabin, never in the cargo hold. They can sit comfortably beside their owners, stretch out on soft bedding, and enjoy a peaceful, stress-free flight.

Onboard Amenities for Pets
Each flight is tailored to suit your needs, and that includes accommodations for your pet. Whether it’s gourmet pet meals, calming blankets, or extra space for larger breeds, our team can organise a fully bespoke setup. Some pet owners request toys or calming sprays, while others bring custom carriers for extra comfort.
For long-haul flights, we can even schedule stopovers that allow time for pet relief, stretching, and refreshments. Everything is designed to ensure your animal’s wellbeing from start to finish.
Understanding Regulations
Different countries have specific entry requirements for pets, and it’s essential to ensure compliance. For example, flights within the EU are generally straightforward for pets with proper documentation, but travelling from the UK to the US or UAE may involve stricter veterinary protocols.
At Villiers Jets, we work closely with our clients and our global operations team to navigate these rules. From import permits and microchips to pet quarantine exemptions, we ensure everything is in place before departure so that you can fly with complete peace of mind.

Benefits Beyond Comfort
Flying private with pets isn’t just about luxury, it’s often about necessity. For older pets, those with health conditions, or breeds sensitive to stress and temperature changes, private aviation can be the safest and most humane way to travel.
Additionally, for owners of multiple pets or larger animals, chartering a private jet eliminates the limitations imposed by commercial airlines, allowing pets of any size or number to travel together in a comfortable, controlled environment.
