Pet travel aviation innovator Vicuna Air has unveiled its new 'Biscuit Class' service, an industry-first that allows pets to travel solo without their owners - always in the cabin, always with a Vicuna Concierge. This marks a shift in international pet travel, offering a gentler alternative to traumatizing cargo holds.

Why it matters

With the 'Pawprint Economy' set to reach $500 billion by 2030 and 99% of owners now considering their pets immediate family, this new service from Vicuna Air addresses a growing demand for premium, stress-free options for international pet travel.

The details

Biscuit Class enables owners to send their pets internationally without needing to fly alongside them, while ensuring the pets travel in the comfort, safety, and style of the cabin. The airport-to-airport service allows owners to stay with their pet right up to take-off and have them collected within minutes of landing. Vicuna Air also offers a full concierge service called Biscuit Class Plus that handles all paperwork and provides door-to-door home collection and delivery.

  • Vicuna Air launched the new Biscuit Class service on March 12, 2026.

What they’re saying

“Biscuit Class changes the terms of the conversation entirely. For too long, pet owners have been asked to accept the unthinkable: a beloved pet locked away in a cage, frightened and alone in the cargo, while you are locked in your own nightmare of panic and uncertainty. We believe there is a better way.”

What’s next

Vicuna Air plans to expand its routes to include Milan, Frankfurt, and Toronto in the near future, with new destinations determined by customer demand.

The takeaway

Vicuna Air's new Biscuit Class service represents a significant advancement in the pet travel industry, providing a stress-free and comfortable alternative for international pet travel that prioritizes the well-being of pets and the peace of mind of their owners.
