BAA Boston, developer and manager of the retail and concessions
program at Boston's Logan International Airport and the Massachusetts
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty of Animals (MSPCA)-Angell have
collaborated to remind travelers of the pet-friendly environment at
the airport, enabling them to take their four-legged friends aboard
when traveling. The two organizations will host a news conference
event at the airport on Tuesday, April 17 at 10 a.m. EDT to discuss
their partnership and how traveling with pets can be fun and easy.
"With an increase in the number of pets traveling, we want to
remind travelers that they can take their pets along for the ride,"
said Mike Caro, Vice President, BAA Boston. "Bring your fuzzy friends
with you when traveling and make sure to stock up on fun specialty
items found in the AIRMALL(R) before boarding."
The "pet-friendly" environment at Logan offers something for
everyone -- from helpful traveling tips and convenient water bowls for
pet owners to pup cakes, cookies, t-shirts and collars for Fido and
Felix. Quick and easy traveling tips are located throughout the
airport to provide travelers with traveling do's and don'ts, which
makes traveling with your fuzzy friend an enjoyable experience.
"We are excited to be part of the pet-friendly program at Logan,"
said Carter Luke, chief executive officer, MSPCA-Angell. "Pets are
true family members, and it is important that travelers consider all
of the necessary precautions before flying with their pets."

flight.
