Aug 17, 2018: Emirates SkyCargo has expanded its product portfolio by adding the service to transport pets. Emirates Pets is a new and improved air transportation product developed by a team of experts to offer a convenient and comfortable air transportation experience for domestic pets.
The product builds on Emirates SkyCargo’s existing capabilities to transport pet animals on its flights and offers new features such as door-to-door transportation as well as booking return flights for pets.
With Emirates Pets, Emirates SkyCargo will offer airport to airport transportation for pets across the carrier’s network of over 160 destinations. The owner of the pet will be responsible for completing all the required paperwork and clearances needed for the transport of the pet from one country to another.
Furthermore, the freight division of Emirates has also entered into a partnership with Snoopy Pets, a leading pet relocation service provider based out of Dubai, to offer a new premium door-to-door transportation service, Emirates Pets Plus, across 16 markets.
Under its premium service, the complete logistics of transporting the pet, including filing all the required documentation, taking the pet for any required veterinary checks and transporting the pet to and from the airport, will be managed by Snoopy Pets on behalf of the customer and Emirates SkyCargo. The markets where this service is available are Bahrain, Brazil, Cyprus, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Malaysia, Netherlands, Portugal, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, UAE and UK.
With Emirates Pets and Emirates Pets Plus, owners wishing to take their pets with them on extended holidays also have the option of also booking a return flight for their pets with Emirates SkyCargo.
Emirates Pets’ robust animal welfare-oriented processes have been developed in compliance with the conditions outlined in the IATA Live Animal Regulations (LAR) to ensure that pets are well cared for throughout their journey.
