Last week, the airline revealed its passengers who have pets could soon take their furry friends with them on a Virgin flight.

“The reality is that 70 per cent of our passengers would love to have their fur babies on-board with them,” Virgin Australia Group CEO, Jayne Hrdlicka told news.com.au.

“So for us it’s really important to be able to innovate and lead and show the way, and to satisfy a really important desire of the majority of Australians to travel with their fur babies.”

Ms Hrdlicka said it’s for small dogs and small cats only and that the animal must fit into a predefined space underneath the seat in front of the passenger.

She also said they must fit into a predefined carrier and stay in it at the airport and on-board the aircraft.

If given the green light, it will likely launch the service within 12 months.
