Henry hops on American aircraft
Starting next Monday, 1 February 2021, animals that previously travelled as emotional support animals and no longer qualify as service animals on flights in the USA, may travel as carry-on pets (charged USD 125) or as cargo pets, as long as they meet the requirements. American Airlines also limits the types of animals that can travel in the cabin to certain dog and cat breeds.
Last week, however, a baby kangaroo somehow managed to hop inside a plane travelling with PSA Airlines from Charlotte, NC to Newport News, VA, creating a buzz on social media.
The video was posted to the AA Stews Instagram page — an account that features flight attendants from PSA's parent company American Airlines. According to the page, "Henry" was there as part of a "wildlife conservation effort". (ah)
