New York is the city in the world where everything happens almost before it does anywhere else. New York is what we have always seen in movies, but also much more. Infinitely more. That is why no one can resist visiting it if they have the opportunity.
But what happens when you want to travel to the city of skyscrapers with your ARISTOPET? Things get complicated, we might think. And in part, that is true. Although there are more and more initiatives every day that make it easier for ARISTOPARENTS to travel with their best friends, as you already know.
But let’s return to New York. More specifically, to John F. Kennedy Airport. Very recently, a luxurious terminal was opened, called “The Ark” (we assume the name refers to Noah’s Ark), to accommodate all kinds of pets and make it easier for travelers to prepare their pets before flying.
The building is divided into various areas for each of the animals that arrive. There is, for example, a section exclusively dedicated to a maximum of 70 horses, one of the animals that most often travel by plane. The same applies to cows, so JFK will have a separate area for a total of 180 head of cattle. These areas are fully equipped with showers, plenty of space and quality food.
The airport has now completed construction of the first phase of the animal terminal (which cost no less than 65 million dollars). In these 16,500-square-meter facilities, ARISTOPARENTS can obtain microchips, food and all the basic services they need for the journey. The terminal also has a quarantine area for birds that arrive and have to undergo this procedure.
Another important feature is that airplanes carrying ARISTOPETS can enter the terminal directly. This is a major change because it makes transporting the animals much simpler and more efficient, avoiding any kind of interruption caused by stress.
Once construction is complete, the terminal will operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, just like the rest of the airport. “The Ark” will have a luxury spa where pets can relax before flying. It will also have a daycare center, a boarding preparation center, a laboratory and a luxury hotel for pets. The accommodations will offer all kinds of services so that the animals can spend the night. In fact, the rooms will be equipped with human-sized beds, televisions, photographs of their families on the walls and a webcam service so owners can see them 24 hours a day. In short, it will lack nothing and will have nothing to envy in the most luxurious hotel for ARISTOPETS in Europe, which we told you about some time ago.
It could therefore be said that this is an airport for different passengers. Apparently, in 2014, more than 70,000 animals passed through the terminals of JFK Airport. Such a huge influx was interpreted by the American government as a need. Hence the proposal to build this innovative terminal, dedicated exclusively to animals of all kinds.

In any case, there is life beyond the stratospheric luxury of “The Ark.” Of course! At ARISTOPET, we like to share inspiring and exclusive initiatives with you, but also others that are practical, close at hand and accessible to everyone.
