Pet owners pay tens of thousands to fly on SingaPaw Air
On SingaPaw Air’s flights, animals roam the cabin freely, sit beside their owners and are offered meal options.
One passenger paid just over US$30,000 for a one-way flight for two people and four cats from Singapore to Hong Kong.
Around 70% to 80% of SingaPaw Air’s flights are for relocation purposes, said Ms Lesley Ann Chai, charter director of Air 7 Asia, which provides most of the aircraft used by the airline.
Beyond arranging the flights, SingaPaw Air also manages the administrative requirements, including import and export permits and vaccination certification.
For pet holidays, Hong Kong is currently the most popular destination. Prices for a return journey start from around US$27,000 for two passengers and one pet.
