Pets are family too: UAE-Greece flight brings home 101 people and 45 pets

Pets are family too: UAE-Greece flight brings home 101 people and 45 pets

Just read about 'Operation Ark'-a special repatriation flight from the UAE to Greece that allowed 101 travelers to bring their 45 pets along. Passengers called their animals 'family members' and refused to leave them behind. It's heartwarming to see Greece and the UAE work together to make this happen, ensuring everyone, including furry friends, got home safely. One passenger even said the pets were quieter than the humans on board! This shows how important it is to include pets in emergency plans. https://www.thenationalnews.com/news/uae/2026/03/19/no-family-left-behind-passengers-board-uae-greece-repatriation-flight-with-precious-pets/

We need more plans like this globally. Pets aren't luggage, they're family.

This is how it should always be. They shouldn't have to choose between safety and their beloved animals.

This is so beautiful! Pets are truly part of the family, and it's amazing they were included. Great work by both countries.

The pets being quieter is the funniest part, but also so true! Glad they're all home safe.
