Flying with pets often comes with questions, from paperwork to in-flight comfort. Below, we’ve answered the most common queries about travelling with animals on a private jet, giving you clear guidance and peace of mind.

‍

Can I bring my pet on a private jet?

Yes. Pets are welcome on private jets and can travel in the cabin with their owners, making it one of the most pet-friendly ways to fly.

‍

Can my pet sit in the cabin with me on a private jet?

Pets usually travel in the cabin, either beside you or in a secure carrier, depending on their size and the operator’s policy.

‍

Do pets need passports or health certificates to fly private?

Yes. Most countries require a pet passport or veterinary health certificate, and some also ask for proof of vaccinations.

‍

Are there restrictions on flying certain breeds of dogs or cats?

Some operators or destinations restrict certain breeds for safety or regulatory reasons. It’s important to confirm in advance.

‍

Do pets have to stay in a carrier during the flight?

Small pets may need to be secured in a carrier, while larger pets can often remain on the cabin floor, provided they are leashed or harnessed.

Are sedatives or calming aids required for pets on private jets?

No, sedation is not required and is generally discouraged. Most pets travel calmly in the quiet, low-stress environment of a private cabin.

‍

Can large dogs travel comfortably on smaller private jets?

Yes, though spacious cabins such as midsize or super midsize jets are often better suited for large dogs to stretch out.
