Private jet for doggie Christmas
Print Edition
An Australian couple plans to shell out tens of thousands of dollars hiring a private jet to fly their stranded dog home from New Zealand in time for Christmas.
Munchkin, a former Bali street dog, is stuck in New Zealand unable to travel to her owners鈥 home on Australia鈥檚 Sunshine Coast due to COVID border rules and flight disruptions.
Owner Tash Corbin said after a five-month separation from Munchkin and her fiance, David Daynes, she had decided to hire a private jet costing Aus$45,000 (US$32,000) for her pooch and partner鈥檚 trip to Australia.
鈥淭he money part is not the number one driver, it鈥檚 about who can most certainly get them home before Christmas,鈥 she said. 鈥淐hristmas is a really big deal for us ... I just want us all to be together.鈥
Pandemic-related disruptions mean there are few flights operating between New Zealand鈥檚 South Island and airports near the Sunshine Coast.
And traveling via New Zealand鈥檚 North Island, where there is currently a virus outbreak, would put Daynes in a two-week quarantine lasting through much of the festive season.
The couple is hoping to split the costs by recruiting passengers, offering to foot half of the jet bill while selling four remaining seats to other travelers, or perhaps hitching a ride on another private charter.
