Arranging seasonal flights for a college basketball squad
A college in Arizona tasked us with arranging a season of round-trip air charters for their men’s and women’s basketball teams. The squad was playing 18 fixtures in locations around the United States, with careful coordination needed to ensure players made it to each game on time. We got to work on a streamlined solution.
Our Solution
Route: Phoenix > Utah > Phoenix
Aircraft: Embraer ERJ-135
Leveraging our strong relationships with local operators, we sourced a twin-engine regional jet with availability for all the teams’ fixtures. The aircraft offered plenty of space onboard for the 30 passengers and could complete each journey non-stop
Knowing the games were taking place in winter, our experts chose arrival airports with de-icing equipment to ensure players could still travel when temperatures dropped.
The Finer Details
Attention to Detail: We liaised closely with the operator ahead of each trip to ensure all details were correct.
Personal Service: We went the extra mile to ensure each charter ran on schedule, including returning misplaced passports and assisting when players forgot their ID.
