[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Trainee Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] This year, the number of pets flown with Air Busan has surpassed 10,000.

According to 2021 data, Air Busan transported a total of 11,097 pets, marking the first time the annual pet transportation exceeded 10,000.

Air Busan announced on the 22nd that this year, the number increased by about 3,000 compared to 8,241 pets last year, a 35% increase from the previous year.

Since 2019, the number of passengers traveling with pets has increased, and the number of pets transported per aircraft has also risen.

Considering the steadily growing demand for traveling with pets, Air Busan expanded the number of pets allowed to accompany passengers in the cabin from the previous 3 per flight to up to 10 starting in 2021.

In February, Air Busan provided a special boarding pass with the pet's name printed on it when traveling with pets. They also used a 'Free Pet Air Ticket' giveaway, allowing pets to fly free of charge regardless of their weight.

The airline also held two events offering free pet food and snack products to passengers traveling with pets.

An Air Busan official said, “We hope customers enjoy the benefits and the joy of travel by using Air Busan, a pet-friendly airline.”
