Leaving your dog or cat alone in the cargo of a plane causes anxiety for many pet owners.  As a solution to this problem, founders and husband and wife team Alysa Binder and Dan Wiesel launched Pet Airways, the first pet only airline.

"Currently, most pets travelling by air are transported in the cargo hold and are handled as baggage. The experience is frightening to the pets, and can cause severe emotional and physical harm, even death. This is not what most pet owners want to subject their pets to, but they have had no other choice, until now." said Wiesel.

The airline plans to launch its first weekly flight on July 14, 2009 and will initially serve five US cities--- New York City, Washington,D.C.,Chicago, Denver and Los Angeles---  for a fee of about $150.The airline will operate with amenities  and procedures that are conducive to pet transportation. So why fly with Pet Airways?
