With a full cabin of “pawsengers” on-board, Pet Airways launched its maiden flight today, taking off from Republic Airport in Farmingdale, Long Island en route for Los Angeles. The world’s first animals-only-airline will operate twice-weekly cross-country round-trips, following the routing New York (Republic FRG) – Baltimore (Baltimore/Washington International BWI) – Chicago (Midway MDW) – Denver (Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport BJC) – Los Angeles (Hawthorne Executive HHR).
