BARK Air, a leading global omnichannel dog brand with a mission to make all dogs happy, has announced an exciting expansion of its revolutionary dog-centric travel service. The company, in partnership with Air Wisconsin, is introducing trial flights on larger planes with significantly increased capacity and lower fares, offering a unique air travel experience designed specifically for dogs and their owners. These flights, connecting New York City with Miami/Fort Lauderdale, are set to launch in February 2025 and are now available for booking at air.bark.co/pages/februarygetaway.
The new initiative marks a significant milestone in BARK Air’s journey to make air travel more accessible and enjoyable for dogs and their humans. The introduction of CRJ-200 aircraft by Air Wisconsin will double the passenger capacity per flight while keeping fares below $1,000. This move reflects the brand’s commitment to affordability without compromising its signature “white paw” service, which emphasizes comfort, safety, and a dog-first approach to travel.
Expanding Horizons for Dogs and Their Humans
Since its inception in May 2024, BARK Air has redefined air travel for dog-loving families, offering premium services on routes to popular destinations such as Los Angeles, New York, London, and Paris. The upcoming flights to Miami/Fort Lauderdale were selected based on consumer demand, particularly catering to families seeking sunny winter getaways with their furry companions.
“Since we began operations, we’ve had the privilege of bringing dogs and their families together in ways never seen before,” said Matt Meeker, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of BARK. “We’ve listened closely to our passengers and learned how to better serve their needs. Partnering with Air Wisconsin allows us to scale up our operations by using larger aircraft, reducing fares, and welcoming even more passengers aboard. These February flights represent a major step toward making dog-centric air travel a reality for more families.”
Seamless Booking and Dedicated Services
Booking a trip with BARK Air is a seamless experience. Passengers can reserve their spots online by visiting air.bark.co/pages/februarygetaway. Once a reservation is made, a dedicated flight concierge contacts each customer to begin the onboarding process for their canine travel companion. The onboarding process ensures that every dog passenger is well-prepared and comfortable for their journey.
Air Wisconsin, a trusted direct air carrier, will oversee key operational aspects, including crew management, aircraft maintenance, and insurance. This collaboration ensures a safe and smooth travel experience for both dogs and their owners. With a focus on customer satisfaction, BARK Air aims to set a new standard in specialized air travel services.
Meeting Growing Demand
The expansion aligns with BARK Air’s mission to address the increasing demand for dog-friendly travel options. With an emphasis on creating memorable experiences for dogs and their humans, the service offers a unique blend of comfort and convenience. By deploying larger aircraft and reducing ticket prices, BARK Air is making strides toward its goal of uniting more families in the skies.
The February 2025 flights represent just one aspect of BARK Air’s broader vision to revolutionize travel for pet-loving families. The company’s commitment to innovation and customer-centric solutions has positioned it as a leader in this niche market. As air travel continues to evolve, BARK Air remains dedicated to setting new benchmarks in quality and service.
