Delta Cargo has rolled-out the latest phase of its relationship with CarePod, with the introduction of the CarePod pet travel carrier.
After five years of research, development and testing and following a successful two-month trial, CarePod is to be exclusively offered at eight US locations: Atlanta, Boston, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New York (JFK and LaGuardia), San Francisco and West Palm Beach. There will then be a phased approach to roll out the CarePod pet travel carrier across Delta’s US network.
Innovative safety features include stronger, industrial strength walls, insulated to protect pets against potential temperature fluctuations when moving between different climates and travel conditions. There are also multi-layered windows and doors with specially angled blinds to help create a calming environment for pets by blocking out visual stress from unfamiliar environments, as well as a built-in hydration system capable of holding up to a litre of water that will auto replenish the spill-proof water bowl to ensure pets always have easy access to fresh water.
A powerful, enterprise level GPS tracking and monitoring system connects the pet’s journey directly to the specialised Delta Cargo Control Center. Owners are able to view their pet’s key travel updates throughout the entire journey via deltacargo.com.
“We’re thrilled that pet owners can now vacation and fly their pets with Delta’s best-in-class CarePod solution, having the peace of mind that their pets are protected in smart pet travel carriers, that are also digitally supervised by the Delta Cargo Control Center throughout the entire journey,” said Jenny Pan, founder and CEO of CarePod. “With the Delta partnership, we aim to raise the benchmark for pet air travel to allow families and pets to stay connected and travel safely together.”
