RetrievAir Is Coming to Scottsdale Airport in 2026

Great news for Valley pet parents and frequent travelers — RetrievAir, the first aviation company created exclusively for pet-friendly travel, has officially announced that Scottsdale Airport will be added as a destination beginning in 2026.

A New Era of Pet-Focused Air Travel

RetrievAir was designed from the ground up for pets of all sizes — not just the tiny ones that fit under the seat. Their experience is crafted around comfort, safety, and reducing the anxiety that often comes with traditional pet travel.

Here’s what to expect when they land in Scottsdale:

Private, Pet-Friendly Boarding

Pets and their humans will board through a private terminal featuring:

• Comfortable, pet-friendly lounges

• Relief areas before takeoff

• A calm, low-stress environment for even the most anxious travelers

🛫 Seats Next to You — Not in Cargo

On board, your pet gets:

• Their own seat right next to you
  or

• A cozy space at your feet

No cargo holds. No separation. Just stress-free travel together.

RetrievAir also offers:

• In-flight water and treats for pets

• Snacks for humans

• Trained staff focused on animal safety and comfort

Helping Shelter Pets, Too

One of the best parts? RetrievAir partners with rescue organizations to help fly shelter animals to safety — reducing overcrowding and lowering euthanasia rates. Every flight helps make an impact.

When to Book

RetrievAir hasn’t opened Scottsdale bookings yet, but they’re expected to go quickly once they do.
