One year ago, we flew our first rescue dog.
His name was Bowie. A handsome husky, cross-country flight, slept most of the way. He woke up at cruising altitude and landed into the arms of a family who'd been waiting for him.
Since Bowie, 84 more rescue pups have followed him into the cabin โ and into loving homes that had been waiting.
The Rescue S.E.A.T. Program turns one this month. In partnership with the Southwest Animal Transport Team (SWATT), we've turned empty cabin seats into lifelines for at-risk dogs across the country.
85 dogs rescued. 72 in 2025. 13 in 2026 so far. One mission: Saving Every Animal Together.
Not cargo. Not crates. A calm cabin and a one-way ticket to a forever family.
