"Private jet (私人飞机)for your pet" is the kind of phrase you might expect to hear from a movie star or media mogul (媒体巨头). But in 2022 Hong Kong, it's just as likely to be a regular person looking into this very unusual expense.
你可能会从电影明星或媒体大亨那里听到“给你的宠物买一辆私人飞机吧”这样的话 。 但在2022年的香港 ， 一个普通人也很可能在考虑这笔不同寻常的花销 。
Olga Radlynska is the Hong Kong-based founder and director of Top Stars Air, a private aviation (航空)company, which has pivoted (转向)more of its business away from private flights for business executives and toward group rentals (租赁)for pet flights. "People have to move one way, and they have to move the pets," she says. "Sometimes the fur parents have already relocated (搬家)but the pets are still here."
Olga Radlynska是香港私人航空公司Top Stars Air的创始人兼董事 。 该公司的业务重心已从为企业高管提供私人航班转向宠物航班的团体租赁 。 她说:“人们有时不得不搬家 ， 而且必须带着宠物一起搬 。 有时候 ， 主人已经搬走了 ， 但宠物们却走不了 。 ”
Now, the clientele (客户)of these charter companies has also changed. It's working-class (工薪阶层)and middle-class (中产阶级)people who are desperate for better options in a city where the co mmercial airline industry is on life support.
现在 ， 这些包机公司的客户群也发生了变化 。 对于香港命悬一线的商业航空业务来说 ， 更需要迎合的是工薪阶层和中产阶级这些客户对更好服务的急切渴求 。
