Virgin Australia's service, which may be a treat for pet lovers but will scare others, is subject to regulatory approval and will be launched within 12 months. It's planned.
The company said in a 2021 social media survey of Virgin Australia's Facebook followers, 85% of respondents voted in favor of allowing pets onboard its flights. Additionally, a recent Virgin Australia survey of Australian pet owners found that nearly 70% of respondents would advise traveling with their pets on board, and 57% would advise more if the service were available. He added that he said he flies regularly.
