Will the Flight Attendants be dressed in HazMat suits, equipped with poop pounch, shovel and “green” disinfect spray? Will there be a No Muzzle/ No Barking Zone?

It's a charter service using small business jets.

This is from a USA Today article (because the original article is behind a paywall):

However, you’ll need to pay a hefty fee for the dog-friendly flight. For now, a ticket for just one dog and one human will run you at least $6,000 one way.

Pet Airways tried this about ten years ago out of Hawthrone Airport near LAX. Great idea but only lasted about two months.

In order for the airline to be for dogs...

the pilots must be dogs (real dogs)...

and the flight attendants must also be dogs...

and the management must also be dogs...

and the planes must have fire-hydrants installed... (no toilets)...

and no cats allowed.
