In December the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA), Australia’s aviation regulator, passed legislation allowing for the transport of pets in the cabin of commercial aircraft.
As a note, assistance dogs have always been allowed on board.

Qantas and Jetstar turned a blind eye to the change, giving it no further thought.
Virgin and Rex said they’ll explore the option. Subtly flagging new revenue opportunities. Virgin even ran a poll on Facebook resulting in 68% of respondents voting in favour of allowing pets onboard.
Although we’re your pet’s biggest fans, we’re not quite sure what it would be like flying in a cabin full of anxious cats and dogs.
The good news is, your beloved furry family member is welcome on all Access by Airly flights.
