Private Jet Charter for Sports Teams

The number of seats and the amount of luggage space are both important for the team: uniforms, equipment, and oversized items like hockey sticks, oars, or bicycles all require space. The team's equipment list and composition are communicated in advance so that a boat with sufficient luggage space can be selected and the load can be calculated.

A large jet is usually sufficient for up to 12–14 passengers, while a business jet is selected for a crew of 19 or more, including the training staff and equipment. For larger equipment loads, the aircraft class is selected based on the weight and dimensions of the cargo, not just the number of seats.

A private flight is tailored to your schedule: departures are possible immediately after the match, including late in the evening. Restrictions include nighttime restrictions at certain airports and slots during peak dates. These are checked during planning, and a nearby airfield can be selected if necessary.

Rates: large jets start at $8,000/hour; business jets are higher depending on the type. The crew rate is calculated for the entire aircraft, so per-person, fully loaded, it's usually lower than purchasing individual business class tickets. Submit a request—we'll prepare a proposal, calculate the operating costs, and analyze options tailored to your needs.

The standard is 24–48 hours before departure: that is enough to confirm the aircraft, crew and slots. For regular clients we arrange a domestic flight from 4–6 hours. International routes need 48–72 hours: overflight permits for some countries take 3–5 working days. On peak dates — Christmas, summer holidays, major forums — aircraft are booked out 2–3 weeks ahead, so plan early.

An empty leg is the ferry of an empty aircraft to its next job or home to base. Such segments sell at a 30–75% discount to the usual price: a flight that would cost $25K can come to $8–12K. The limits: the date and route are fixed to the aircraft's schedule, and if the main booking is cancelled the flight may shift. We publish current empty legs weekly — watch the listings.

Baggage is limited only by hold volume: a light jet takes 5–8 suitcases, while midsize and above fit skis, gun cases and golf bags — clear oversized cargo in advance. Pets travel in the cabin in a carrier or crate; a pet passport, microchip and documents for the destination country are required. Children fly from birth to 2 years with no surcharge.

Alcohol is allowed in the cabin and is included in catering on request. Smoking follows the rules of the specific aircraft and operator (not permitted on most VIP cabins, with some exceptions). Business meetings, presentations and celebrations in the cabin are possible on midsize aircraft and above. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

In non-flying weather or an airport closure the operator offers a rescheduled departure, a change of alternate airfield or a substitute aircraft — safety always takes priority and the captain decides. If the operator cancels through its own fault, the fee is refunded. We stay in contact with the operator and quickly rebuild the flight. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

Call us or leave a request on the site. Tell us the dates, the route and how many passengers are flying. We come back with a shortlist of suitable aircraft and a quote for each, usually within a couple of hours.

Once you pick the aircraft we handle the rest: contract, slots, ground handling, catering and, if needed, VIP terminal and transfers. On short notice a flight can be arranged within a few hours.
