6 November 2024: Smart Aviation, the leaders in global sports charter, has today flown over 500 PAOK fans from Thessaloniki in Greece to Manchester ahead of tomorrow night’s Europa League showdown against Manchester United. This will be Ruud van Nistelrooy’s first and only European game at the helm of Manchester United as caretaker manager.
Smart was contacted by a Greek tour operator and sourced aircraft to fly the excited group of PAOK fans to Manchester in comfort. The flight was seamless from start to finish.
Mark Hawkins, Managing Director of Smart Aviation, said: “The Greeks have flocked to Manchester in abundance for this eagerly anticipated match and we are thrilled to be part of the excitement. PAOK fans are renowned for being extremely passionate and we wish them well against the mighty Manchester United.”
Smart continues to be inundated with requests from both football teams and fan groups that will be playing in or supporting their team in the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League and UEFA Europa Conference League tournaments.
