Pet in the cabin
Your pet travels with you rather than as cargo or an unaccompanied relocation.
Mumbai ⇄ Dubai
Pet-in-cabin private charter, shared by seat.
Fly between Mumbai and Dubai with your eligible dog or cat beside you in the passenger cabin. Buddy Air brings compatible pet-parent families together so each family can reserve individual seats without chartering the whole aircraft.
What this service is
A practical middle ground for families with pets.
On many commercial services, larger dogs cannot travel in the passenger cabin. A whole-aircraft charter can be prohibitively expensive. Buddy Air's shared model creates another option: several pet-parent families travel on the same private aircraft and reserve only the seats they need.
Pay by seat
You reserve individual seats on a shared journey instead of chartering the entire aircraft.
Licensed operators fly
Buddy Air arranges the journey; duly licensed third-party private charter operators operate the flight.
A gentler option for pets with more complex needs.
Large dogs and brachycephalic—short- or snub-nosed—dogs and cats can face additional restrictions and health concerns on commercial flights, particularly when cargo is the only available option. Buddy Air offers a private-charter alternative in which eligible pets travel in the passenger cabin beside their people.
We welcome enquiries for larger and brachycephalic pets and consider every pet individually. Breed, size, measurements, health, temperament, the selected aircraft and operator requirements are all reviewed as we coordinate the details around both the pet parent and the pet—with dignity, comfort, warmth and attentive care at the heart of the journey.
