Spanish low-cost airline Vueling has started offering treats for pets as part of the buy-on-board menu on its flights, it said, adding that it was the first such initiative in Europe.
Vueling, which allows passengers to travel with pets of up to 8 kilograms (17.64 lb), has developed the concept jointly with Belgian pet food maker Edgard & Cooper and the menu will include chicken bars and beef bites priced at 3.50 euros ($3.78) and 5.50 euros, respectively.
A significant part of Vueling’s customer base travels with pets and there is demand for such a service, the airline said. “We are trying to be diverse,” it added.
