CONCERT TOURS
Ballet and theatre groups, musical and circus acts and stars on world tours often have a very tight schedule that must be strictly followed, and any delays will not be accepted. This is why a responsible professional approach is required when organising a tour. SV Charter can arrange a clear system of flights and ensure the highest level of comfort. We understand how important it is for artists to relax before meeting their fans and their next performance. We can manage the most complex tasks:
- An unscheduled concert in a remote location or charter flights for a world tour
- Political campaigns with a challenging schedule of visits to multiple locations to meet voters
- Theatre and circus tours with large volumes of props
- Film crews – we can help arrange a clear travel schedule in accordance with their timings
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I charter flights for a multi-city concert or music tour?▼
Yes, you can charter flights for a multi-city concert or music tour, with SV Charter regularly arranging touring aircraft for artists, bands, dancers, technical crew, and management across consecutive show dates. The aircraft acts as a moving home base, repositioning overnight between cities so the artist sleeps onboard or at a hotel and arrives fresh for soundcheck. Aircraft are configured with lie flat seating, private rest zones, costume hanging space, and onboard catering aligned to the artist's preferences. Sound and lighting equipment moves on a parallel cargo flight when stage build timelines require it.
How do you manage charter logistics for a roadshow visiting multiple cities?▼
Can you arrange both passenger and cargo aircraft for a tour simultaneously?▼
Yes, SV Charter arranges both passenger and cargo aircraft for a tour simultaneously, running parallel flight tracks that move the artist or executive group on one aircraft and stage, set, and merchandise equipment on a dedicated freighter. The cargo aircraft typically departs 24 to 48 hours ahead to allow rigging and stage build at each venue. Common pairings include a Boeing 737 or Airbus A320 for the touring party with a Boeing 747F, 777F, or Ilyushin Il-76 for cargo. Flight plans are synchronised so passenger arrival aligns with the venue load in completion at every city.
How far ahead should I book charter flights for a national or international tour?▼
For a national or international tour, you should book charter flights 4 to 6 months in advance to secure dedicated aircraft, contiguous crew duty days, and FBO slot blocks at every stop. International tours touching peak demand cities like London, Singapore, Dubai, or Riyadh, or running during summer festival season, benefit from 6 to 9 months of lead time because suitable aircraft sell out quickly. National tours of 4 to 8 domestic cities can typically be locked 8 to 12 weeks ahead. Tour announcements and on sale dates should be timed only after the charter plan is signed.
