Pet Airways was an American company headquartered in Delray Beach, Florida, that specialized exclusively in air transportation of pets.[2][3] The airline claimed to be the first designed specifically for pets where pets flew in the main cabin, not in cargo.[4] After Pet Airways ceased operations in 2011, its parent, PAWS Pet Company Inc., transferred to the pharmaceutical space, and changed its name to Praxsyn Corporation.[5]

As of May 2024, the Pet Airways website indicates that the airline plans to resume flights after acquiring funding to restart the company.[6]
