75% of mid-flight pet deaths in US were on United Airlines in 2017

Eighteen out of 24 pets who died on domestic US flights last year were carried by United Airlines. The latest tragedy came on Monday, when two passengers were forced to put their puppy in an overhead locker.
Data from the US Department of Transportation showed United, whose slogan is “Fly the Friendly Skies,” was the least pet-friendly of all domestic carriers. And a Louisiana senator has written to the airline to demand answers.
In February, the department released its Air Travel Consumer Report, which showed at least 18 pets died and 13 were injured, way ahead of other airlines, including Delta, American and Alaska Airlines, which had two each. United’s incident rate per pet carried was almost three times the average and nine times higher than Alaska, the second biggest transporter of animals.
Those figures do not include Monday’s death of a 10-month-old French bulldog puppy on a flight from Houston to New York. An air hostess told Catalina Robledo and her 11-year-old daughter Sophia Ceballos to stow their canine, Kokito, in the overhead bin inside its carrier.
“The flight attendant came, and she was like, ‘You have to put him up there because it’s going to block the path,’” Robledo told ABC News. “And we were like, ‘It’s a dog, it’s a dog.’ And she said, ‘It doesn’t matter, you still have to put it up there.’”
They were devastated to find the pooch dead after touchdown, and angry that the stewardess claimed she did not know the carrier contained a live dog. “She’s basically lying to us now,” Robledo said.
