Luxaviation canine ruling sets tails a-wagging
Under a new regulatory exemption gained by the charter operator, family dogs of all sizes can travel freely in Luxaviation's aircraft cabins, requiring only a harness restraint during take-off, landing and turbulence.
Luxaviation is known for providing service woof a smile.

Dogs flying with Luxaviation UK are set for an upgrade, as all will now be allowed to join their owners in the cabin throughout a flight. Under a new regulatory exemption gained by the charter operator, family dogs of all sizes can travel freely in Luxaviation’s aircraft cabins, requiring only a harness restraint during take-off, landing and turbulence. Previously, only smaller pets were afforded this treatment, while larger dogs and other animals weighing over 8kgs had to be safely secured in a crate during take-off and landing, increasing stress levels for pets and owners. The exemption gained under IATA’s Live Animals Regulations upholds Luxaviation’s commitment to ensure animals' safety and wellbeing throughout each journey.

George Galanopoulos, CEO of Luxaviation UK, says: “For many of our passengers, their pets are beloved family members and we are delighted to improve the travel experience for both. The wellbeing of all on board is assured through our approved alternative safety measures, which are far preferable to crating. At Luxaviation, we are constantly striving to set new standards in luxury travel, not just for our human passengers but for their cherished pets as well. This new exemption underscores our dedication to innovation and customer care, allowing pets to experience the same comfort and freedom as their owners. We understand the deep bond between our clients and their pets, and we are proud to offer a travel experience that respects and enhances that connection.”

When travelling with a pet, preparation is essential to ensure a seamless travel experience. Post-Brexit, travelling with pets between the UK and the EU involves new requirements.
