Dog Toy Company Bark will launch a Jet Charter service that promises a “white leg service”, although it will cost up to $ 16,000 for a round trip ticket for just a dog and its owner of Carpes.
Nickname Bark Air, the company best known for its Barkboxes subscription full of pet toys and sweets, seeks to solve the problems that generally arise when humans travel with their skin babies.
Although smaller dogs can generally travel in a carrier placed under the seat in front of them, larger dogs must suffer what is known to be the stressful experience of being put in boxes in the load space of a plane.
“We are excited to take the ideas that we have learned for years to create an experience that is really for dogs, which is drastically different from simply accepting dogs, from the ground to the heavens,” Matt Meeker, co -founder and executive director of Bark, He said in a press release on Thursday.
Bark Air’s first flight leaves the New York Westchester County Airport to Van Nuys in Los Angeles airport on May 23.
Currently, there are only two flight routes available, both from the Westchester County Airport to Van Nuys airport, which costs $ 6,000 in a way for a dog and a human, or to the Stansted airport in London, which costs $ 8,000 by way.
After the reserve, humans are connected with a bark janter assigned to collect information about their four -legged passengers to guarantee the best possible experience during the long distance flight.
But Bark Air will not only be friendly for pets: he will treat his four -legged passengers as first -class passengers, the company based in New York said.
On travel day, dogs and their owners must only appear at the airport 45 minutes before their scheduled flight time “for a simple and efficient check-in process, without boxes, without stressful control points”, According to the Bark Air website.
From there, the janits will take dogs on board a cabin prepared with soothing aid such as music, smell towels with a warm lavender smell and pheromones, aromas that mimic natural chemicals released by animals that help them communicate , among other comforts.
The treats, the ears of the ears that cancel the noise and the soothing jackets will also be available as part of the flight preparation “Dogs Fly First” of Bark, which ensures that each dog is comfortable when detached.
Dogs are offered a drink in takeoff and descent to help their ears fit the pressurization of the cabin.
“We believe that this initiative will create awareness about Bark’s mission in a profitable way,” said Zahir Ibrahim, Bark’s financial director. “Since we are not committed to the reserve of flights in advance, we have a lot of flexibility for charter flights in an opportunist in times of high demand.”
Users on social networks, however, criticized high rates.
“I was so excited about this, but I am mental at the price of $ 6K. Hopefully everyone can do this much more affordable in the future, ”said a user in Bark Air’s Instagram post presenting the luxury airline.
“I would really love to see the data that convinced him to believe that the round trip tickets of $ 12K are a viable business model and that it is worth marketing the general public,” said another.
A third said that a rate of $ 6,000 to $ 8,000 for a single “is ridiculous.”
It was not clear immediately with which Jet Charter Company Bark is being associated for his friendly trips for pets.
The publication has sought comments from the cortex.
