One of a pet owner’s biggest nightmares would be if their pet goes missing.
This is especially true if that pet happened to be in a crate boarding a plane when this happened.

He has also requested CCTV footage of the loading process but hasn’t yet received a response from SATS, the main ground handling service provider for Changi Airport.

Cat doesn’t have an AirTag
Unfortunately, what makes matters more difficult is that Aiko doesn’t have an AirTag.
This is unlike the case of Oreo, a dog who similarly went missing in April 2022 and was found thanks to her AirTag.
When asked why Aiko didn’t have an AirTag, Mr Wong said they were not allowed to put one on her.

Specifically, an AirTag wasn’t allowed by the airline Cathay Pacific, he alleged.

Mr Wong said he wondered why that decision was made, especially when he saw the news regarding Oreo’s safe return.
Those with news on Aiko’s whereabouts should send a WhatsApp to +85260833973 or +65 9751 7826.
Hopefully, the beloved cat will be found soon and reunited with her owner.
