The company said pets will be handled with care throughout the journey and provided with food and water during transit.
Animals will be transported under controlled conditions on the ground and in the air, in line with international aviation rules. Special transit areas and support teams will be available at all times in Dubai to monitor animals during stopovers.

Pets will be moved using temperature-controlled vehicles and placed in suitable sections of the aircraft. They will typically be loaded last and unloaded first after landing.
Officials also said certain breeds of dogs and cats face transport restrictions and may only be accepted under specific conditions.
The service classifies pets based on their country of origin. Animals from general countries, including Pakistan and around 20 others, must be at least 15 weeks old to travel. Pets coming from higher-risk countries — including Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Comoros and Nigeria — must be at least 27 weeks old.
Authorities said the measures are intended to ensure the safety and welfare of animals during international travel
