Unleashing Adventure: VistaJet Reports Rising Demand in Pet Travel
and Reveals the Must-Visit Destinations for this Summer
Hong Kong / Singapore, May 29, 2025 – This summer, travelers may fully embrace holiday adventures alongside their beloved pets. VistaJet, the world’s first and only global private aviation company, has witnessed growing demand for pet-friendly summer travel and a 17% increase of flight traffic in 2024. Top destinations for VistaJet flights traveling with pets included London, New York, and Nice.
Through VistaJet’s comprehensive pet travel program, VistaPet, all travellers – whether human or animal – are ensured to enjoy unparalleled comfort and care at 45,000 feet from simplified flying solutions to customized private dining, in-flight entertainment and more. Beyond safe and stress-free flights, VistaJet continually supports Members through a curation of pet-friendly travel destinations that are meticulously hand-picked for the ultimate summer getaway.
“VistaJet understands that pets are an integral part of the family, so it is only natural that they should be beside us to share precious moments together. With a team of over 4,000 aviation experts who pay close attention to every detail, we are committed to making travel dreams come true.”
- Matteo Atti, Chief Marketing Officer at VistaJet
VistaPet as a Tailored Travel Solution
According to Euromonitor International, the estimated value of Asia Pacific’s pet care industry in 2024 was USD29 billion and projected to grow at the highest compound annual rate of 4% from 2024-2029, almost double North America (2.5%) and Western Europe (2.1%). This significant growth potential underlines why offering solutions to care for animals is increasingly important.
Since 2019, VistaPet responded to the unique needs and challenges faced when traveling with animals, through solutions designed in collaboration with experienced veterinary practitioners, coaches, dieticians, and groomers. The VistaPet program includes:
- VistaPet Pochette – a travel bag on board every flight containing bio-organic animal treats, water-free shampoos, soothing wipes and toys to keep companions entertained throughout the flight.
- Private Dining – Members can request a dedicated balanced menu to keep pets hydrated and healthy with a menu of fresh meat and fish or raw vegetables and whole grain brown rice.
- Fear of Flying courses – in partnership with The Dog House at selected locations to ensure flying with a scared pet may transform into a seamless journey.
Based on VistaJet’s data, dogs have emerged as the predominant type of pet passenger consecutively in 2024 and 2023. In contrast, the most distinctive passengers welcomed on board included the blue-tongued skink and Sulcata tortoise, both of whom have demonstrated notable enjoyment during flights.
“We were proud to assist a family travelling with their two elderly Great Dane dogs, a cat, and a large Sulcata tortoise in a flight. To ensure the comfort of all animals, particularly the tortoise, the heated floors were activated in the cabin to mimic its natural habitat, providing peace of mind to the owners.”
- Matteo Atti adds.
