About Pets On Jets®

Care as a professional discipline.

This specialised certification ensures Hans Jet's crew can identify signs of distress, monitor health indicators, respond to medical concerns, and create a calm environment for every companion on board.

When a member's French Bulldog boards one of our aircraft, our pilots can recognise signs of respiratory distress. When an anxious rescue dog takes its first flight, our crew know how to create a calm environment.

A new benchmark for pet welfare

Comprehensive pet aviation safety training, completed by every pilot in the fleet.

Hans Jet, one of Europe and the Mediterranean's leading Pilatus PC-12 private jet operators, has announced that every pilot across its fleet has completed comprehensive pet aviation safety training and certification through Pets On Jets®.

The certification comes amid a generational shift in what family travel means — and as a recent EU court ruling controversially classified pets in commercial airline cargo holds as 'baggage' rather than family members, intensifying demand for operators who treat animal welfare as a professional discipline rather than an afterthought.
