The Italian Private Jets company provides services for the organization of business aviation flights with dogs on board a business jet. We will find a suitable plane for you, in which you can take a pet directly in the cabin of the liner next to you. We have got 15 years of work in business aviation, and we have accumulated a lot of experience in the comfortable transportation of pets together with their owners. We will help you collect all the necessary documents and take care of organizational issues. We will provide you and your dog with maximum comfort at all stages of the flight.

Not all pet owners agree to leave their own furry friend at home while traveling around the world. Trips around the world with an animal can be organized in different ways – by car, train, or plane. The fastest way to move is, of course, a business jet flight. Italian Private Jets aviation broker is ready to provide all possible assistance in preparing a flight with a dog in Italy and to European cities. We organize the flight "turnkey" and on the terms of the customer, but in compliance with all International rules of dog air transportation.

 

 

International requirements for the air transportation of dogs on airplanes

Pets are allowed to be transported on civil and business aircraft. However, the approach to organizing a flight with an animal is fundamentally different for civil and independent airlines. On regular flights, the dog is often placed in the luggage compartment, where there are not always ideal conditions for a comfortable stay during the flight, which negatively affects the psyche of the animal and can lead to diseases or a nervous breakdown.

Renting a private plane allows you to take your pet with you directly to the salon. The entire flight of the animal will be under the supervision of the owner, which is much better for it and will allow the owner not to worry about the well-being of the animal in the luggage.

However, regardless of the air transportation option, certain rules apply to all cases of flights. A dog, like any other pet, will not be allowed to cross the border if it does not have:

• An international veterinary passport. All vaccinations must be indicated in the document. The information is duplicated in the language of the destination country or in English;
• Chip. In European countries, animals are accepted only with the chip that is listed in the international database. Tattoos on the body do not relate to chipping;
• Rabies vaccination. After vaccination, at least 21 days must pass before departure;
• Treatment of parasites. The dog must be treated for fleas and worms, indicating the date of the procedures and the drugs used in the passport.

 

Chipping is necessarily carried out strictly before the rabies vaccine is administered. You need to take a certificate from the veterinarian that it is not sick and can be transported by air within 5 days before departure for the animal.

Besides the international requirements, each country has its own recommendations, as well as restrictions that need to be learned at the flight planning stage. In some states, they may not allow dogs with certain breeds, in other countries, the animals are quarantined, and in others, they require an additional test for rabies antibodies.

 

 

Rules for transporting dogs by private planes

Business aviation has more opportunities than civil aviation for the organization of transportation of pets. However, all air brokers and operators are also required to comply with international rules for the transportation of "live cargo".

On Italian Private Jets, our clients can transfer almost all dog breeds except those that are prohibited from being imported into the destination country. You will be able to stay with your pet in the cabin of the liner, but you need to take it on board in a muzzle and control the movement with a strong leash. When you are in the cabin of the aircraft, the muzzle can be removed, but the dog will need to be fastened to the seat so that it does not interfere with the work of flight attendants and the passage in the cabin. It is advisable to transport small breeds in a cage by placing them next to the chair and fixing the carrier with a belt.

They are not allowed to be transported by plane:

1. Pregnant females and newly hatched bitches;
2. Sick dogs without a certificate from a veterinarian;
3. Puppies under the age of 12 weeks.

Service dogs and guide dogs must have a certificate of completion of special courses. Check-in for a flight with an animal may take longer, so it is recommended to arrive at the business terminal not within 30 minutes but within an hour and a half.

 

 

The cost of the flight depends on the type of liner

The flight hour of each type of aircraft has their own price. It makes up the bulk of the total amount. If you want to know the approximate cost of flying on a private plane, it is enough to know that the flight hour on:

1. Large aircraft, for example, Legacy 600, costs an average of 5.5 to 7 thousand euros;
2. Light and medium aircraft cost from 2.5 to 4 thousand euros;
3. Medium-class aircraft - from 3.5 to 4.5 thousand euros;
4. Business liners – from 12 thousand euros;
5. Long-haul liners cost from 7 to 11 thousand euros.

The cheapest flight on turboprop aircraft costs about 1 thousand euros per hour. However, such models are mainly used only when organizing flights between neighboring cities lasting no more than 2 hours.

 

 

The cost of the flight includes:

• rental of a private plane with a pilot and crew along the entire route;
• payment of airport charges on the way;
• standard VIP meals for passengers;
• round-the-clock informing of the customer or his authorized persons about the progress of the flight;
• parking at the following airports;
• accommodation of crew members in a hotel (if necessary);
• fast customs and passport control services.

 

The cost of renting an airplane does not include:

• extension of airport opening hours if necessary;
• de-icing treatment of the aircraft.

What documents for a pet should be provided when boarding a business jet?

Almost all airports in the EU countries require a euro certificate, in other countries, they usually require a 5A certificate. These documents are equivalent to a veterinary passport, they indicate:

• Timing of vaccine formulation;
• Names of drugs used for parasitic infections;
• The timing of the next vaccination.

 

The passport must be certified with the signature and seal of the veterinarian and the service that issued the document. Additionally, they will require a certificate, which will need to be obtained within 5 days before departure at the veterinary clinic. It is issued only if the dog is healthy and there are no contraindications to the flight at the time of the inspection.

The presence of the chip at the airport is checked by a scanner. If it is absent, the customs services have every right to prohibit the export of a pet.

 

 

What breeds of dogs cannot be transported in business jets?

In a business jet rented for personal needs, the customer of the service can transport any dog breed, taking into account the above restrictions. However, it should be borne in mind that a number of countries in Europe, Asia, America do not allow fighting and aggressive dog breeds, which include:

• Amstaff;
• Tosa Inu;
• Fila Brasileiro;
• Dogo Argentino;
• American Pit Bull;
• Pit Bull Terrier;
• Rottweiler;
• Staffordshire Bull Terrier;
• Neapolitan Mastiff;
• Pitbull.

 

Before planning a trip, it is recommended to check the permission to cross the border with a dog on the official website of the embassy, or customs service. A number of countries do not accept some animals, in others, there is a ban on completely different ones. It should also be taken into account that in some European countries, a dog may not be allowed into the hotel, so it is necessary to book private apartments in advance. Our specialists will be happy to answer all your questions and guide you according to the current rules.

 

Payment terms

After signing a business jet rental agreement, you can pay for the service in cash, by bank card, cryptocurrency, or with an invoice. If necessary, we always meet customers halfway and select the most acceptable payment options for them. We cooperate with leading Italian and European banks – therefore, in most cases, we manage to make all the necessary payments promptly.

We provide all the necessary documentation for your accounting department and prescribe transparent conditions for canceling flights (in case your plans have changed). We always try to find a consensus with the owners of the aircraft and make sure that the amount of the fine is minimal, especially if the flight was canceled due to force majeure.

 

 

How to pay for a flight

1. We agree on the terms of the contract and send it to you by e-mail or messenger
2. We issue you an invoice with a fixed price
3. After the receipt of payment, we secure the board for you

If you have any questions or would like to get advice from our specialist, fill out the form below or call us.

 

 

Stages of flight preparation

If you want to rent a business jet, it is enough to submit an application by phone, via online messengers, or by leaving a request on the company's website. After agreeing on the specifics of a private flight, it is prepared in four stages:

• The first is flight planning. Flight requests are sent, and private planes suitable for the client's requirements are selected. As a rule, initially, we send 3-6 options to the client. If one of them responds to you, we will book a business jet, and if not, we will adjust and continue the search. The technical department deals with security issues, and the legal department controls all the international subtleties of flight organization;
• A contract is concluded with the client. The contract prescribes the duties and responsibilities of the parties, the date of departure, the level of service, additional services. It is mandatory to indicate the cost of the flight and payment terms;
• The third stage involves providing a flight. The team of air brokers responsible for the organization of the flight repeatedly checks requests for take-off and landing of aircraft and for parking at the airport. Specialists are also responsible for receiving slots, submitting requests to aviation services, to VIP halls, catering on board, transfer;
• The fourth stage is the private flight itself. A personal aviation consultant is engaged in passenger registration, ordering passes. The broker has all the relevant information about the status of the flight and will help you go through all the procedures in an accelerated version.

 

 

Features of transportation of domestic dogs in business aviation

Transporting a dog in the cabin of a business jet is better for a pet than a long stay in a dark luggage compartment. If necessary, a flight attendant will monitor it for the entire flight. Before boarding, it is not recommended to feed the animal abundantly, only light food is allowed 2-3 hours before the flight. If the flight takes no more than 5 hours, then adult dogs cannot be fed during this entire period, since they may experience nausea after eating at altitude. However, if the flight takes much longer, then the pet on the plane will be offered the food that will be recommended by the owner.

An important point is that during the flight, it is necessary to provide the dog with free access to water. The animal can go to the toilet on a waterproof diaper. There are air conditioning systems and complexes installed on board business jets flying over long distances. They equalize pressure and reduce engine noise. Thanks to such equipment, overloads are not felt as much as on conventional civilian aircraft, so dogs feel relatively good for almost the entire flight.

Italian Private Jets is ready to fully organize a flight with a pet dog to any European country, to Asian and CIS countries. When submitting an application, we recommend that you immediately order the country of destination, breed, weight of the dog, and character traits. Based on this data, we will be able to tell you if you will be allowed to go abroad and what documents you will need to be prepared for departure. For our part, we will be happy to help with the registration of an international passport for a pet. You can clarify all the information you are interested in by phone or by writing to our company's e-mail.

 

 

Book a flight

You can book a private flight online through a special form on the website. After receiving the request, the air broker will contact you to clarify the details, after which we will promptly provide suitable options. At the same time, if you are not satisfied with the price, the year of manufacture of the aircraft, or any other nuances, we will adjust the search and offer alternative options.

 

 

You can also order a private jet rental via WhatsApp, Telegram, and e-mail messengers. The company accepts orders around the clock. It is possible to organize urgent flights in 3-5 hours after the request. However, if you want to get the perfect option, we recommend that you make applications in advance so that the operator has more time to search for a business jet and negotiate terms with its owner.
