Vicuna Air - A New Model for International Pet Travel 'In Cabin'
Pet travel aviation innovator Vicuna Air unveils its new 'Biscuit Class', an industry-first service allowing pets to travel solo without their owners – always in the cabin, always with a Vicuna Concierge – https://www.vicunaair.com/our-services/pet-solo.
LONDON, March 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Our pets are family. Vicuna Air treats them like it.
Today Vicuna Air launches Biscuit Class: a bold new service bringing solo in-cabin travel to the rapidly expanding world of premium pet aviation, enabling pets to travel without their owners in the cabin of a chartered Gulfstream GV private jet. It marks a powerful shift in what pet owners can expect from international travel. No traumatising cages in the hold. No separation anxiety, or agonising uncertainty. Instead, Biscuit Class offers a gentler alternative, one built around comfort, care, visibility, and peace of mind for pets and the people who love them. What lingers is not distress, but the memory of a journey made gentle.
Vicuna Air's founder and CEO, Jamie Everett, commented: "Biscuit Class changes the terms of the conversation entirely. For too long, pet owners have been asked to accept the unthinkable: a beloved pet locked away in a cage, frightened and alone in the cargo, while you are locked in your own nightmare of panic and uncertainty. We believe there is a better way. The cost is comparable, yet the emotional experience could not be more different. Once you see the alternative, the case for doing better becomes very hard to ignore."
With the 'Pawprint Economy' set to reach $500 billion by 2030, and 99% of owners now considering their pet immediate family, this sector is firmly in the spotlight1.
Biscuit Class: Vicuna Air's pioneering Biscuit Class service enables owners to send their pets internationally without needing to fly alongside them, while ensuring they travel in the comfort, safety, and style of the cabin – https://www.vicunaair.com/our-routes. This airport-to-airport service allows owners to stay with their pet right up to take-off and have them collected with them within minutes of landing.
Biscuit Class Plus: Vicuna's full concierge service handles every step of the journey, including all paperwork and door-to-door home collection and delivery. It is the ultimate in solo pet aviation, https://www.vicunaair.com/faqs.
Furs Class: Vicuna's original Furs Class service enables owners to travel in the cabin alongside their pets, with complete paperwork management and door-to-door chauffeured home collection and drop-off. With a Vicuna concierge present on every flight and worldwide Wi-Fi throughout, every detail is designed for a seamless journey and complete peace of mind, https://www.vicunaair.com/our-services/furs-class.
Jamie Everett added: "We're incredibly excited to be launching a new standard in stress-free international pet travel. Now more than ever, we recognise our pets' unwavering devotion and the central role they play in family life. Vicuna Air finally gives us a way to repay that loyalty and do right by them."
