Do you feel it is feasible to install and maintain Fish tank/s in Commercial airlines and charter planes?

Thanks & Regards,

Hi prashantakerkar (https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=profile;u=849424)

Because cabin pressure is regulated to mimic those on land, fish would survive within tanks inside an airplane. It's a matter of maintenance that prevents major airline companies from using them for aesthetics. Most airline companies are doing their best to cut costs and increase profits.

Thanks.

So considering the security aspects, this can be achieved.

Private Charter planes would be preferred rather than Commercial airlines carriers?

Most likely found in a private jet versus a commercial one. Commercial jets are designed to optimize the space within the cabin. In other words, they're rather install another passenger seat than dedicate it to fish.

Why would airlines want fish while travelling?
