London, April 17: Florida-based PetAirways is launching an airline for pampered pets.

The pets will travel in the main cabin instead of the cargo and special attendants will look after their necessities such as food and water.

PetAirways plans to start running flights between New York, Los Angeles, Denver and Chicago.

"Your pet will be safe and comfortable - flying in the cabin, not cargo," the Sun quoted a spokesman as saying.

Over 70 million cats and dogs fly with their owners in the U. S. every year. (ANI)
