Vicuna Air Expands In-Cabin Pet Flights to Amsterdam, Frankfurt, and Brussels
Published on June 24, 2026
Vicuna Air, a London-based private pet aviation company, has expanded its routes to now connect New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles with major European cities including Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, and Brussels. This extension provides pet owners with increased access to Northern Europe.
In-Cabin Travel for All Dogs
One of the standout features of Vicuna Air’s service is that every pet travels in the cabin next to their owner, regardless of size or breed. This approach eliminates the stress of cargo holds, where animals are often hidden away from their owners, which can be a significant concern for larger dogs typically excluded from in-cabin policies.
Ground Transfers and Documentation Included
Each booking comes with chauffeured ground transportation, simplifying the logistics on both ends of the journey. Vicuna Air also manages essential documentation, addressing a common challenge in international pet travel, which includes handling USDA health certificates, EU entry requirements, and rabies vaccination confirmations.
Biscuit Class: Unaccompanied Pet Travel
For when owners cannot travel with their pets, Vicuna Air offers a service called Biscuit Class. In this case, pets are accompanied by a dedicated concierge throughout their journey, ensuring they receive the necessary care and comfort.
Mission: Pets as Companions, Not Cargo
Founder Jamie Everett, a former RAF pilot, emphasizes that the core philosophy of Vicuna Air is that “your pet travels beside you, not beneath you.” This commitment to treating pets as companions is central to their business model and services.
Who Vicuna Air Is Best For
Vicuna Air is particularly suitable for pet owners who want the assurance that their animals will not experience the stress of cargo travel. This includes families relocating internationally, military personnel, and frequent travelers. The comprehensive services offered make it an appealing choice for those unfamiliar with the complexities of international pet travel.
