Pets are loaded on the maiden voyage of Pet Airways on July 16, 2009 in the Los Angeles-area city of Hawthorne, California. The new pets-only airline will operate out of Denver, Chicago, Washington DC, and New York. Pet Airways flies Beech 1900 aircraft with the seats removed to carry up to 50 pets in animal crates per flight.

I've been reading that the airline industry is going to the dogs financially, but I guess it is literally as well. Come to think of it, those cages look a lot more comfortable than a seat in coach.
