    - Veterinarian consult: we can offer you the best animal treatment and
      consult that's flight related, suitable for all types of animal and for
      each country worldwide.

    - Vehicle transportation to terminals and back: families travelling with
      pets all over the globe appear to face the same problem every time they
      head towards the terminal or when returning after a long flight - they
      don't have convenient vehicle transportation for their pets. Animal
      Airways supplies the safe, budget friendly, convenient and most
      important - animal friendly solution.

    - Pet escort: a new service that operates with animal professional
      escorts who fly along with your pets to-and-from every destination
      worldwide. The new service was founded after recognizing pet owners'
      stress and anxiety  when sending their pets oversees alone (without
      family members).

    - Flight booking: using our connections with all airline companies,
      ground handling and cargo operators, we guarantee the easiest track,

      economically fair, reasonable and safe for your pet.

Dr. Eytan Kreiner: "New rules and regulations are enforced in every country, especially in Europe and North America that make it hard and sometimes even impossible to handle pet relocation without professional help and guidance. Animal Airways manages to help people cope with their pets transport from every location to every location around the globe and people are starting to get used to the easy, friendly, smart, creative and fare solutions we offer."

Kreiner explained the strategy behind the opening of the new Eastern European headquarters in Russia: "After thorough research, we have come to the conclusion that there is a strong demand for animal aviation professional service in Eastern Europe. Eastern Europe is in general very tolerant toward animals (and even animal-friendly), which makes it a perfect place to live with pets and to bring pets along when arriving on a vacation or even on a business trip. In Eastern Europe, we have learned in our research, lives an animal loving population, and until now, they had no solution whatsoever for professional animal flight management.

We strongly believe this process will take Animal Airways one step further in becoming the world's leading corporate managing animal aviation transportation and therefore allow us to help the Eastern European population, one that is animal loving, to travel easily and safely worldwide. We offer a solution that is of great necessity in a global world where people travel constantly and with their loved ones (their pets).

Animal Airways is seeking new affiliates within the fields of relocation- companies, ground-handling, travel-agencies, commercial airlines and Veterinarian-related businesses in Eastern Europe, and is open to new global opportunities following recent expansion.

Animal Airways is advancing Eastern Europe activity with plans to found three more branches within a year in the following destinations: Kazakhstan, Ukraine and Saint Petersburg.
