Vicuna Air expands In-Cabin Pet Flights to Amsterdam, Frankfurt, and Brussels
Vicuna Air, a London-based private pet aviation company, has announced the launch of shared charter flights that allow pets to fly in the cabin on routes between the United States and four Northern European cities: Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, and Brussels. On every flight, pets travel alongside their owners aboard a Gulfstream GV, eliminating the need for cargo holds, crates, or separation.
The new service connects major U.S. cities, including New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, with more destinations in mainland Europe. This expansion follows the company's previous transatlantic service that linked the United States with London and Paris. Passengers can book individual seats on scheduled private jet flights with other pet owners, providing the comfort of private aviation at a more accessible price point than chartering an entire aircraft.
Vicuna Air's shared charter service ensures that every pet is in the cabin with its owner, regardless of size or breed. This service caters not only to owners relocating between the United States and Europe but also to those traveling with their pets. Each booking also includes chauffeured ground transportation at both ends of the journey and comprehensive management of the pet's travel documentation.
The company handles the full paperwork process, which includes obtaining USDA health certificates, fulfilling EU entry requirements, managing Rabies documentation, and overseeing customs clearance. Additionally, Vicuna Air offers Biscuit Class, an unaccompanied travel service for pets traveling alone with a dedicated Vicuna concierge.
"Northern Europe is one of the busiest travel/relocation corridors in the world, and for most dogs that journey has meant hours alone in a cargo hold," said Jamie Everett, founder of Vicuna Air and a former RAF pilot. "We built Vicuna Air so it wouldn't have to be that way. On our flights, your pet travels beside you, not beneath you. They're not cargo. They're companions."
Vicuna Air was founded by Jamie Everett and is headquartered in London. The company specializes in shared charter private jet flights, providing a unique travel experience for pets and their owners across the United Kingdom, United States, and Europe.
