When a grounded aircraft threatened to delay the player’s return flight, we needed to find an alternative solution fast.
Getting a footballer home in time for training
A footballer got in touch asking us to arrange his flights for a mini-break in Mexico. The player wanted to enjoy some downtime with his partner and three children, but he could only take a few days’ leave between training sessions. With such tight timings, we set about arranging a private jet charter that enabled the family to make the most of every second without wasting time waiting for scheduled flights or standing in airport queues.
Our Solution
Route: Miami > Cancun
Aircraft: Hawker 800, Cessna Citation XLS+
Reaching out to our local operator contacts, we sourced a Hawker 800 with a comfortable cabin that could complete the journey non-stop. The outbound flight went without a hitch, but the aircraft later required repair work that wouldn’t be finished by the day of the return leg.
The operator offered to reschedule the charter for the following day, but with the client needed at football training we decided to find an alternative aircraft for the original schedule. Acting quickly, our experts sourced a Cessna Citation XLS+ that could position for a timely departure, even arranging an open bar and snacks onboard!
The Finer Details
Quick Reaction: The client was impressed with how swiftly we found a replacement aircraft for the return leg of the charter.
