Aircraft charter for sports teams

From national and European football and rugby to international hockey and boxing tournaments, our comprehensive charter service provides all types of aircraft to meet the unique travel requirements of sports teams and organisations across Europe.

Experience and expertise

Our clients include Premiership and Championship teams in England, leading clubs across Europe and National Associations worldwide – but our expertise is not limited to football. We’ve chartered aircraft for rugby, ice-hockey, basketball, golf, yachting, motorsport and cricket, to name a few.

With over 20 years of service to the sports industry, rest assured that we really know sports charters – from nutritious on-board meals for athletes, private terminal arrangements, VIP transfers and specialist aircraft to carry large amounts of team equipment; we understand the unique requirements of sports professionals and teams.

Smart Aviation is a partner member of i.s.t.a.a. – the International Sports Travel Agencies Association, recognising 20 years of experience in aircraft charter for team travel and supporter flights.

Supporter travel

Since the company was founded in 2005, we’ve chartered aircraft to carry supporters to Europe’s biggest sporting events, including the Champions League, Europa League and rugby’s Six Nations.

We source aircraft for some of the biggest sports tour operators in the UK and Europe to provide charter flights for supporter travel to fixtures and tournaments, handling all the operational aspects of the flights on their behalf.
