Bark Air operates the world's first airline specifically designed for dogs and their owners — dogs fly in the cabin, owners sit alongside. FFGR Belgium arranges ground transport to departure airports and concierge coordination.
Bark Air launched in 2024 with a simple premise: dogs should not travel in cargo. The airline operates private aircraft with cabins configured specifically for dogs and their owners — no underseat crates, no cargo holds, no separation. Dogs board as passengers, owners sit beside them, and the flight operates on the understanding that the dog is the primary client.
For private clients in Belgium who travel with dogs — and among Belgium's UHNW community, this describes a significant number of households — the logistics of international travel with a large dog have historically been either expensive or unpleasant. Commercial airlines impose cabin weight limits that exclude most breeds above 8 kilograms; cargo transport is legal but distressing for both dog and owner; private charter requires a full aircraft booking. Bark Air provides a share-charter solution for dogs from 10 to 50 kilograms on specific routes.
FFGR Belgium's Bark Air concierge service handles the complete journey architecture for clients travelling with dogs. Our coordination covers: ground transport from your Belgian address to the departure airport in a vehicle configured for a large dog (crate secured, rear privacy, rear climate control), flight booking coordination with Bark Air on your preferred dates, hotel pre-clearance at your destination for pet-friendly properties at the appropriate grade, and return coordination. We have managed programmes from Brussels to London, Brussels to New York (via the transatlantic Bark Air routes), and Brussels to the French Riviera.
The vehicle for pet transport from FFGR Belgium is the Mercedes Sprinter VIP, configured with a rear climate zone, a secured crate position, and full cabin separation from the driver area. Your dog travels in the same comfort standard we apply to human passengers. At the airport, our escort manages the check-in formalities and accompanies you through the dedicated pet boarding process.
Bark Air coordination programme pricing: from €380 for ground transport only (Brussels collection to departure airport). Full concierge coordination including flight liaison and destination hotel arrangement from €680.
