American Airlines opens dog potty-park at JFK airport
Airlines are becoming more sensitive to the needs of passengers with pets.
Aug 14, 2009 VETERINARY ECONOMICS
The July launch of Pet Airways—an exclusive pet airline—may have traditional air carriers reconsidering catering toward pet owners. Case in point: American Airlines recently opened Pet Relief Area, a final pit stop for passengers and their pets, at the John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. Conveniently located on the departure level, the 30- by 50-foot enclosure with a 1,000-square-foot patch of natural grass features park benches, trash barrels, and a bright red fire hydrant. The relief area is the first of it’s caliber, but likely not to be the last.
