WestJet Cargo has expanded its pet transportation services from Canada to London Gatwick (LGW), London Heathrow (LHR) and Edinburgh (EDI).
This expansion comes in response to the growing demand for secure and reliable international pet travel between Canada and Europe, said the Canadian airline.
The airline also plans to use its passenger network to further expand its pet transportation services across Europe.
WestJet Cargo’s pet transportation service is tailored to meet the specific needs of all pets, including brachycephalic breeds, which require special attention during air travel.
The airline adheres to IATA’s Live Animals Regulations and all pet transport occurs in pressurised, temperature-controlled cargo holds.
The service is designed to comply with European regulations, accommodating the specific requirements of international pet travel.
WestJet Cargo recently confirmed it had parked two of its four leased 737-800 Boeing Converted Freighters (BCF) in response to tough market conditions.
