CHARTERS TO SPORTS EVENTS FOR ORGANIZERS, ATHLETES AND FANS
Over the 27 years of its work, SV Charter has arranged many charters for the sports industry – that is why we, better than anyone else, understand importance of timing and concerted efforts of all elements during preparation and flight itself. SV Charter experts will make sure that all sports equipment safely arrives at the competition venue on time, help with customs formalities for documents and create all arrangements for quality rest during charter.
Due to our knowledge of details and peculiarities, we were able to arrange a vast number of flights for well-known international sports teams, members of their fan clubs, sponsors, media and press.
Our portfolio includes transportation support during the FIFA World Cup and some Formula 1 stages.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I charter a plane for a sports team and their equipment?▼
Yes, you can charter a plane for a sports team and their equipment, with SV Charter regularly arranging dedicated team flights for football, basketball, cricket, rugby, motorsport, and Olympic squads. The aircraft is configured for the team's exact roster including players, coaching staff, physios, analysts, and management, with extra cargo allowance for kit bags, training equipment, medical supplies, and team uniforms. Aircraft such as the Boeing 737, Airbus A320, and Embraer E190 are typically used, offering both passenger comfort and a generous belly hold. Charter timing is fitted around match schedules and recovery protocols.
Do you handle customs and transport for sports equipment on charter flights?▼
How much does it cost to charter a flight for a football team?▼
The cost to charter a flight for a football team typically falls between USD 35,000 and USD 350,000 per leg, depending on aircraft size, route, and onboard configuration. A domestic 2 hour flight for a 30 person squad on an Embraer E190 starts around USD 35,000 to USD 60,000. Intercontinental matches using an Airbus A330 or Boeing 757 for a full travelling party of 80 to 120 sit between USD 180,000 and USD 350,000 per leg. SV Charter packages the football team charter with kit cargo, custom catering, and recovery friendly seating to suit each fixture.
Can sports media and press travel on the same charter as the team?▼
Yes, sports media and press can travel on the same charter as the team when the operator agrees and seating permits, and this is a common request for major tours and tournaments. Most clubs prefer a partitioned cabin layout that keeps players, coaching staff, and management separate from accredited journalists, broadcasters, and photographers. Federation approvals, accreditation manifests, and equipment cases for cameras, microphones, and editing kit are pre cleared by SV Charter. For high profile fixtures, larger aircraft like the Airbus A330 or Boeing 767 are selected so each group has its own zone.
