The secret to successful flying lies in the pre-flight effort you put in.

Some pets accompany their owners everywhere. Handbag dogs are one such group. Other owners have their favorite animal snuggled on a shoulder, a rat perhaps, or other rodent-companion. The rest of us restrict ferrying our pets to vacation time. The other unavoidable pet journey takes place when there is a house move.

Road or Air?

Where distances are great, road travel is probably not best for pets. Endless hours cooped up, with only very brief stops for calls of nature, are almost as fraught with pets as they are with children. And haven’t you sometimes felt sorry for your pets having to listen at close quarters to their human ‘pack’ loudly bickering for mile after mile? Rather than having the fur flying, why not take the fur flying?

In fact, looked at one way, having your pet on board the plane you’re on might be a possible cure for flying nerves. Worrying about the possible trauma of take-off and landing for the little creature could be a great antidote, taking your mind off your own misgivings. There is a certain type of pawssenger (get it?), therefore, that really is more stressed than you.

Do The Groundwork

The secret to successful flying lies in the pre-flight effort you put in. Check out more than one airline, if at all feasible. American Airlines and KLM get good reports from the pet-friendly …

 What is this SkyRider – a much reduced seat pitch, an ultra-high density seat or Stand-up-cabin?

From various media reporting we understand that some airline companies would even want to go for a “Stand-Up Cabin”? We are proposing a 23-inch pitch or less; the “SkyRider”.
Aviointeriors is one of the leading Aircraft Seat and Interiors manufacturers with extensive R&D on the subject.

The “SkyRider”, is an ultra-high density seat presently completely engineered and to be finally tested. The SkyRider has been designed and engineered to offer the possibility to even further reduce ticket prices while still maintaining sound profitability, which, even with a dual or three class seating arrangement, will allow maximum certified passenger capacity of the aircraft.

With a much reduced seat pitch, the SkyRider preserves a comfortable position for the low fare passengers.

The SkyRider is intended as a new basic class. The passenger’s seating position is similar to that of a touring motor-scooter rider. This posture permits that the overall longitudinal space occupied by the seat
with the seated passenger is far less than that of a conventional, very high-density 28” economy class seat.

Furthermore, in the SkyRider arrangement, a partial overlapping of the passengers seating between rows is allowed, thus further increasing the cabin density.

The seat structure itself also provides space for personal baggage.

The ceremony presided over by Madrid Mayor Alberto Ruiz Gallardón and Iberia Chairman Antonio Vázquez took place at Iberia’s La Muñoza maintenance installations adjoining the Madrid-Barajas airport.

The aircraft will fly to Copenhagen

On September 30 the 200-seat Airbus, registered as EC-JZM, will fly the official Madrid 2016 delegation to Copenhagen where it will attend the final balloting by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to select the host city of the 2016 games. A second aircraft will carry the remaining part of the delegation, along with journalists and guests.

Both will carry the “Madrid 2016” emblem on seat backs, and it will also appear in the Iberia in-flight magazines Ronda and Excelente, with a press run of 340,000 copies. All this is part of the effort to promote the Madrid candidacy among Iberia passengers and employees at all the destinations served by the Spanish airline.

Iberia was also assigned the task of bringing members of the IOC from Brazil to Spain last May to make an appraisal of Madrid’s candidacy.

More than 6,330 customers and employees have volunteered to support the bid

Iberia is also seeking support for Madrid’s bid among its customers and staff. Via the www.iberia.com web site and the airline’s intranet, as well as company offices in Madrid and the operational hub at T4 in the Madrid-Barajas airport, in the space of a fortnight more that 6,330 people joined the tens of thousands of existing supporters.
