Aviation services firm Air Partner has announced private jet enquiries have taken a 12% upturn with football fans desperately clamouring to see the Europa League and Champions League finals.
Many are facing difficulty in getting to the games - with the Europa League final in Baku, Azerbaijan on 29 May and the Champions League final to be held in Madrid, Spain, on 1 June.
This is due to the limited number of flights available with commercial airlines. Baku in particular is very poorly serviced, with direct flights not operated daily from London.
Marcos Torre, Air Partner’s manager, UK Private Jets, commented: “It’s great to see four English teams in European finals, but many fans are being let down by scheduled services. Air Partner’s charter solutions offer unparalleled flexibility and convenience, meaning fans only have to worry about what happens on the pitch. For many, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and we are delighted to be able to help get football’s biggest fans to these games.”
A return trip to Madrid on a 6-seater Light jet with Air Partner is priced from approximately £21,000. A return trip to Baku on an 8-seater Midsize jet is approximately priced from £43,000.
