Need to fly a puppy to Jersey
No, I’m not joking!
A family friend who lives in Jersey needs to transport a puppy from Yorkshire to Jersey and is happy to cover the cost of doing this.
The dog can be delivered to an address on the mainland, the problem is the sea crossing as the ferries aren’t running.
Is there anyone with a commercial licence (so that the costs can be paid) that could take this on?
I’d be grateful for a PM or email if anyone could do this or knows someone that can.
Many thanks!!

General aviation is also not allowed at the moment.Currently as far as Im aware only two flights operating West Atlantic for cargo(once daily) and BlueIslands 3x a week to Southampton.BlueIslands do not allow animal cargo sorry.
Things should be changing over next week or two,

Carrying your own puppy is a grey area of animal transport, transporting a strangers puppy definitely is animal transport and needs the appropriate permits and licenses ... Transport Certificate, Certificate of Competency, IATA LAR Live Animal Rules Certificate, Dangerous Goods Certificate (for the nail gun you have to carry in case), AOC etceteras are a long list of papers and licenses you will need to do.

Not into Jersey, we have to get prior permission to leave the island from Customs before travelling.Travel allowed for lifeline flights https://www.gov.je/news/2020/pages/G...ueIslands.aspx
Notams still in place. Im operating as pilot on these.

Put a stamp on the puppy and throw it in the Royal Mail box?
If it's a Collie you can! How else do you make sure the sheep stay seated? They'd run rings round the Cabin Crew and send them mad if no dog were allowed on board during the flight to keep order!!!
Erm, is "lockdown" starting to get to H 'n' H?

I did this many years ago when I lived in Jersey. The (now) ex decided she had to have a Bernese mountain dog and we picked it up in Land's End. We just asked someone at the Aero Club if they wanted to to fly us over if we paid for the gas. Perfectly legal.
Ironically, I found this quite useful and it prompted me to get my license.
The pilot was Chris Wench, Jersey aviation legend.
Good luck!

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
Amazing what you learn. Years ago I took a puppy in a cage Inverness to Heathrow. Never even thought of rules. She went checked baggage, no cost, picked her up at Heathrow and handed to new owners.
