Air Partner, the global aviation services group, transported nearly 10,000 passengers on a total of 62 flights to and from the recent 2016 UEFA European Championship in France.
Among those flown were four national teams: due to the knock-out nature of the competition, Air Partner had to be on the ball at all times, as travel arrangements for the players could depend entirely on the outcome of a match.
As well as flying the footballers themselves around, Air Partner also arranged nine flights for members of the European media and several for fans from all across Europe. This included last minute requests from groups of Irish and Welsh fans who had not expected their teams to progress so far in the competition. Being such short notice, scheduled service options were limited, but Air Partner made sure the fans were able to enjoy the historic occasion in person.
Clive Chalmers, Air Partner’s director of Commercial Jets UK, said: “We were delighted that we were able to use our experience and office network to fly the national teams to and from their games in comfort and style – as well as getting their fans to the stands in good time.”
