BARK Air was recently nominated as one of the most innovative travel companies of 2026 by Fast Company.

And I’m not surprised.

Even airlines across the world are experimenting innovative models:

→ The “Cabin seat baggage” model tested by Alaska Airlines (though N.A)

→ The “Pet on board” model tested by Nok Air (though N.A)

→ The “Large pet friendly” model tested recently by ITA Airways and Aeroitalia and that will start selling on a click-day soon.

They all show where demand is heading.

Because here’s the reality:

Pet travel isn’t truly pet inclusive yet.

Leading brands aren’t waiting.

They’re investing heavily in pet travel 🧡
