WestJet Cargo in Canada has expanded its pet transportation services to three major European airports: London Gatwick (LGW), London Heathrow (LHR), and Edinburgh (EDI).

The company said that the expansion comes in response to the growing demand for secure and reliable international pet travel between Canada and Europe.

"At WestJet Cargo, we recognise that pets are beloved members of the family, and their safety and comfort during travel are our utmost priorities,” said Kirsten de Bruijn, Executive Vice President of WestJet Cargo. “By extending our pet transportation service to LGW, LHR, and EDI, we are enhancing connectivity for pet owners and ensuring that their pets receive the highest standard of care throughout their journey."

WestJet Cargo's pet transportation service is tailored to meet the specific needs of all pets, including brachycephalic breeds, which require special attention during air travel. The airline strictly adheres to IATA’s Live Animals Regulations. Bookers can arrange transportation through WestJet Cargo’s customer service or online booking system. The service is designed to comply with European regulations, accommodating the specific requirements of international pet travel.

WestJet Cargo also operates a service to Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG).
