Through our Bark Air partnership, your companion travels in-cabin on a private charter — from Rotterdam The Hague Airport to any European FBO. No crates. No cargo holds. No compromises.
The problem with travelling with a dog — and its solution
The standard options for travelling with a dog on commercial routes are, without exception, unsatisfactory. Cargo hold: unacceptable for the companion of a principal who would not accept a hotel room for themselves that did not meet a certain standard. Cabin on commercial airlines: restricted by weight, breed, and route, and subject to the logic of a seat allocation process that has nothing to do with the animal's comfort. Quarantine on arrival: a further indignity visited on a creature who cannot be told why.
Bark Air and the FFGR partnership
FFGR Nederland's Bark Air programme provides private jet charter configured specifically for pet travel. The aircraft — typically a light or midsize jet, depending on the party size and route — is prepared with a dedicated pet area in the forward cabin: non-slip flooring, a temperature zone separate from the main cabin, and provisions selected by the client's veterinarian. The companion travels in-cabin, visible at all times, without the stress of a crate in a hold they cannot access.
The route programme from the Netherlands
FFGR's Bark Air departures from the Netherlands operate from Rotterdam The Hague Airport (RTM) and from Schiphol GA terminal. Routes cover all major European FBOs: Paris Le Bourget, Geneva Cointrin, Nice Côte d'Azur, London Farnborough, Ibiza, Palma, and beyond. For longer journeys, we coordinate with veterinary professionals on both ends for any documentation or health certification requirements.
- Departure airports: Rotterdam The Hague (RTM), Schiphol GA, Eindhoven
- In-cabin: companion travels in the main cabin, not in cargo

A companion animal is not luggage. It requires the same consideration as any other member of the travelling party.
