“It’s a first-class experience for the dog, a business-class experience for people. We … we cater everything to the dog, trying to lower their anxiety and their stress, so they have the most comfortable, fear-free experience on an airplane,” BARK co-founder and CEO Matt Meeker said, as per
The Hill.
BARK Air currently offers one-way and round-trip flights between New York and Los Angeles as well as New York and London. More routes will be added soon, the company said, adding that each flight fits 15 dogs and their humans, but it never sells more than 10 tickets per flight.
According to The Hill, a domestic flight costs around $6,000 per ticket, while international tickets cost about $8,000 each. Bark Air says costs will come down as demand for the service increases.
