BARK Air, through direct air carrier Air Wisconsin, will deploy CRJ-200 aircraft to expand capacity, accommodating at least double the number of dogs per flight. The flights in February are part of the company’s long-term goal to make dog-friendly air travel more affordable while maintaining the company’s signature “white paw” service. The route was chosen based on consumer demand, focusing on dogs and their humans looking for winter getaways in sunny Florida destinations.

“Since May 2024, we’ve had the honor of flying dogs and their families together, and we’ve listened to their feedback and learned how best to serve our passengers,” said Matt Meeker, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of BARK. “Working with Air Wisconsin marks an exciting step forward, allowing us to accommodate more passengers on a larger aircraft while significantly reducing our prices. These flights are a major milestone in bringing our dream of dog-centric air travel to even more families.”

Passengers can reserve their space online by visiting air.bark.co/pages/februarygetaway to start their booking process. Once booked, a dedicated flight concierge will reach out to start the onboarding process for each dog passenger. Air Wisconsin will manage aircraft operations, including crew, maintenance, and insurance, ensuring a seamless and safe travel experience.

Launched in May 2024, BARK Air has already transformed air travel for dogs and their humans, offering premium flights to destinations like Los Angeles, New York, London, and Paris. For more information on BARK Air and to book upcoming flights, visit air.bark.co.
