How did the idea come by? Deepika who spoke to the Mumbai based tabloid said that at the time when she was arranging jet for relatives, many refused to accommodate pets. So, instead of sending the pets through cargo shipments, she arranged another jet only for dogs, birds & other animals that were left behind amid the lockdown.
Deepika who got in touch with Accretion Aviation for this initiative, also informed that all the COVID-19 precautions are being followed for both animals and handlers. The report also said that the pets will be traveling in cages.
