WestJet Cargo has expanded its pet transportation services from Canada to London Gatwick (LGW), London Heathrow (LHR) and Edinburgh (EDI).

This expansion comes in response to the growing demand for secure and reliable international pet travel between Canada and Europe, said the Canadian airline.

The carrier operates flights between Canada and Europe using its fleet of Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft.

“At WestJet Cargo, we recognise that pets are beloved members of the family, and their safety and comfort during travel are our utmost priorities,” said Kirsten de Bruijn, executive vice president of WestJet Cargo.

“By extending our pet transportation service to LGW, LHR, and EDI, we are enhancing connectivity for pet owners and ensuring that their pets receive the highest standard of care throughout their journey.”

In addition to the new routes, WestJet Cargo started operating year-round pet transportation services to Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) earlier this year.

The airline also plans to use its passenger network to further expand its pet transportation services across Europe.
