Video Podcast: Virgin’s new pet project

written by Robyn Tongol | March 13, 2024

Pet-loving passengers rejoice – Virgin Australia is allowing literal ‘sky kittens’ on its planes, with small dogs and cats soon to be allowed in the cabin on select domestic flights.

Naturally, there are caveats, of course: pets will need to be confined to approved carriers stored under the seat in front, and will be limited to certain rows, so your beloved pooch or pussycat won’t be running around the cabin or nestling in your lap.

Adam and Jake discuss whether this is a good idea – or whether the airline will soon be dogged by catastrophe.

Plus, after a terrifying plunge for LATAM passengers over the Tasman Sea, will Boeing’s popular 787 Dreamliner join the beleaguered 737 MAX in the sin bin?

  • Just another case of ideology taking precedent over practicality. Sounds like someone’s departing gesture to me, ridiculous unworkable and not in the best interests of anyone else on the airplane.
