Award-winning public charter air carrier JSX has announced a new partnership with leading pet retailer Petco designed to elevate the air travel experience for pet families across the country. The partnership reimagines the future of pet-inclusive air travel through new thoughtfully enriched pet amenities, including inflight treats, travel essentials and co-branded swag, as well as JSX charitable initiatives, such as pet adoption events, through the national nonprofit organization Petco Love.
JSX Customers traveling with dogs and cats will experience a full suite of complimentary Petco-provided amenities available across JSX’s robust U.S. flight network, designed to enhance the ease and convenience of the JSX air travel experience for all, including:
- Limited-edition pet swag including branded JSX x Petco bandanas (from February 2026).
- Curated lounge treats, such as travel-themed frosted cookies, to help keep pups engaged while waiting for flights (from February 2026).
- Pet travel essentials, including carriers and leashes from Petco’s owned brands, available for loan to JSX Customers (from February 2026).
- Customized inflight snack for dogs and cats from Petco’s owned brand, WholeHearted (from April 2026).
- Access to Petco content and resources to help prepare pets for seamless air travel.
- Petco-sponsored pet relief stations with clean-up supplies rolling out across the JSX network starting in spring 2026.
- Two Petco-branded JSX aircraft, in honor of the partnership.
“Pets experience the world through us, and when we bring them along on our adventures we turn every trip into an opportunity to make their world bigger, better and more connected to ours,” said Chief Customer and Product Officer at Petco, Michael Romanko. “This partnership goes beyond convenience — it’s about inclusion, and giving pet families across the country even more ways to bond and have fun with the pets they love most.”
As a premier innovator in true family travel in all forms, JSX is the first U.S. air carrier of its type to formally recognize pets as participants in the brand’s new Club JSX loyalty ecosystem. Customers can create sub profiles for their dog or cat, tied to one human, where participants can view how many Rewards their pet has earned as their companion, fully shareable across a family pool.
“JSX has always believed that pets are family and so it’s only natural for us to partner with Petco to improve the travel journey for all from nose to tail,” said JSX Chief Commercial Officer, David Drabinsky. “Together, we’re raising the bar on pet-friendly travel – delivering a simpler, more joyful experience for pets and their humans.”
Dedicated to serving every Customer, JSX ensures families traveling with pets are supported by highly trained crewmembers equipped with best-in-class practices for interacting with, caring for, and safely managing pets throughout the entire journey.
