ExcelJet's sports charter flight services help sports teams, both professional and amateur, travel with ease and efficiency — without the extended security lines and scheduling inflexibility of commercial aviation.
Our service accommodates full sports squads plus coaching and support personnel on a single aircraft. That matters more than it sounds: a team that travels together can hold a briefing in the air, keeps its medical and analysis staff alongside the players, and does not risk kit arriving on a later flight than the people who need it.
We fly direct to airports adjacent to the stadium wherever one exists, cutting transfer time on arrival. Departure timings are set around your fixture list — an evening fixture can mean a same-night return, with players home instead of in an airport hotel.
Flights straight into stadium-adjacent airports, removing long road transfers before and after a fixture.
Customisable seating configurations with the legroom that professional athletes actually need on a travel day.
Professional luggage management for playing equipment, medical kit and oversized team baggage.
Gourmet meals tailored to athlete nutrition requirements and timed around training and match schedules.
In-flight entertainment systems for downtime, and quiet cabin space for tactical review sessions.
Expedited check-in away from public terminals — important for high-profile squads and their security.
Football, basketball, motorsports, cricket and tennis make up the core of our sports client base — from first-team squads and franchise sides to academy groups and support crews travelling ahead of the main party.
Season-long fixture lists can be quoted as a series charter, which usually prices better than booking each movement individually and locks in aircraft availability against a congested calendar.
Annual operational volume that keeps us at the front of the queue for aircraft in peak season.
Global coverage across continents, for away fixtures and pre-season tours alike.
Diverse fleet options sized to the squad, from a 30-seat regional jet to a full airliner.
24/7 dedicated account management through a season of changing fixtures and late finishes.
Usually yes. Late departures are subject to airport curfews and crew duty limits at both ends, so we plan the crew roster around your kick-off time rather than the other way round. Give us the fixture time when you enquire and we will confirm whether a same-night return is achievable.
Playing kit, medical equipment, gym gear and media rigs are weighed and volumised at quote stage so the aircraft is selected with the load in mind. Loading and unloading is handled by ground crews briefed on your inventory, and the equipment travels on the same aircraft as the squad.
Yes. A series charter covering a full fixture list is quoted as a programme rather than as separate bookings, which typically improves the rate and secures aircraft against a busy calendar. Mid-season fixture changes are re-planned within the same agreement.
Yes. Share the plan from your performance nutritionist and we brief the caterer directly — including meal timing relative to kick-off, individual dietary requirements and recovery nutrition on the return leg.
Send us your fixture list and squad size — we will build a charter programme around it.
