SKYE PETS is an international pet charter flight operator based in Australia. We offer shared charter flights for pet owners who want to travel internationally with their dogs or cats in the passenger cabin. Our service eliminates the need for pets to travel as cargo.
Australia has strict biosecurity requirements for importing dogs and cats administered by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF). Pets may require an ISO-compatible microchip, rabies vaccination and antibody testing, a DAFF import permit, veterinary examinations, parasite treatments, government-endorsed health certificates and post-entry quarantine at Mickleham. Pets travelling from New Zealand follow a simpler pathway and do not normally require post-entry quarantine.
New Zealand's Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) administers pet import requirements. Pets may require microchipping, core vaccinations, rabies vaccination and antibody testing, an MPI import permit, veterinary examinations, parasite treatments, health certificates and quarantine at an MPI-approved facility. Pets travelling directly from Australia generally do not require routine quarantine when all entry conditions are met.
Dogs and cats travelling to Great Britain require an ISO-compatible microchip, a valid rabies vaccination, a Great Britain pet health certificate, and tapeworm treatment for dogs. Pets that meet all requirements can normally enter Great Britain without quarantine.
The UAE Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE) requires an ISO-compatible microchip, valid rabies vaccination, core vaccinations for dogs and cats, leptospirosis vaccination or testing where applicable, internal and external parasite treatment, a MOCCAE import permit and an official veterinary health certificate. Breed restrictions may apply.
Singapore's Animal and Veterinary Service (AVS) classifies countries by rabies-risk. Pets from London and Melbourne follow Schedule I and do not normally require rabies preparation or quarantine. Pets from Dubai follow Schedule III and require rabies preparation and quarantine. Requirements include microchipping, core vaccinations, an AVS import licence and an official health certificate.
Dogs entering the United States must be at least six months old, have a detectable microchip, and a completed CDC Dog Import Form. Dogs with recent travel to high-risk countries require additional rabies documentation. Cats must appear healthy on arrival. Additional state requirements may apply.
Yes. On SKYE PETS charter flights, dogs and cats travel in-cabin with their owners — never in cargo. Pets are accommodated in IATA-approved crates in the passenger cabin.
Pets entering Australia from most countries require post-entry quarantine at the Mickleham facility in Victoria. Pets from New Zealand generally do not require quarantine. Exact requirements depend on the country of export and the conditions of the DAFF import permit.
Some routes require preparation to begin six to seven months before travel, particularly those involving rabies antibody testing. SKYE PETS provides a personalised preparation timeline after booking.
SKYE PETS uses a range of private charter aircraft including the Airbus A319 ACJ, the Bombardier Global 6000, the Bombardier Challenger 605 and the Embraer Lineage 1000, depending on the route.

Unlike commercial airlines that require pets to travel as checked baggage or cargo, SKYE PETS operates dedicated shared charter flights where your pet travels in the passenger cabin beside you. There is no cargo hold, no separation anxiety, and no risk of your pet being left behind or misrouted.
Australia's only international shared private charter service where pets travel alongside their owners in the passenger cabin, supported by a premium, fully managed pet relocation service from your first enquiry through to arrival.
Every pet relocation is unique. Before booking, we recommend exploring our available routes and frequently asked questions to better understand the travel process, destination requirements, and the SKYE PETS shared private charter experience. Unlike commercial pet transport, our flights allow pets to travel alongside their owners in the passenger cabin, rather than in the cargo hold.
Once you've selected one of our available routes and departure dates, simply submit your booking request online. Our team will review your pet's information, destination requirements, and suitability for the selected journey. If everything is in order and availability remains, we'll confirm your booking and issue your invoice to secure your place onboard.
Once your booking has been confirmed and payment received, you'll receive access to your portal with a preparation timeline tailored specifically to your pet's destination, outlining every veterinary treatment, health requirement, appointment, and document required before departure. Our experienced team coordinates every stage of the preparation process. We also manage import permits, government documentation, and ongoing progress checks.
Your journey begins from a private terminal, where our team coordinates check-in, documentation, and ground handling. Without the queues and crowds of a commercial airport, you and your pet can enjoy a calm, seamless departure experience. Your pet remains with you throughout the private terminal process before boarding the aircraft together.
SKYE PETS is Australia's only international shared private charter service where pets travel alongside their owners in the passenger cabin. Your pet never travels alone in the cargo hold. Instead, they remain with you throughout the flight in an IATA-compliant travel crate within the passenger cabin. This experience is particularly beneficial for brachycephalic breeds, senior pets, puppies, and pets that may not be accepted for cargo travel by commercial airlines. Throughout the journey, our experienced team remains onboard to monitor the pets, support passengers, and assist whenever required.
Upon arrival, you and your pet continue through a private terminal where customs, biosecurity, and import arrangements have already been coordinated by our team. Where inspections, quarantine, or additional clearance procedures are required, we work directly with the relevant authorities and service providers. Our support doesn't end when the aircraft lands. We continue coordinating the arrival process until your pet has been safely cleared, collected, or transferred to quarantine where required.
