Whether it’s a last-minute flight for a sports team or a group of fans traveling to the game of the century, our group charter experts organize hundreds of private sports charters every year بلیط کیش.
“Over the last 30 years we have built up extensive knowledge and close relationships with operators to achieve the best solutions for our clients,” says Alex Sadat Shafai, Global Director of Football Sales at Irancharter (pictured below). “Today, Irancharter is one of the largest providers of charter flights for sport.”
“Each sports charter requires a bespoke solution and our approach varies whether the request comes from a team, a fan group or a sponsor. For example, attention to detail is paramount when organizing a charter flight for a sports team, while fan groups often opt for the most cost-effective options. Whatever the charter, the most important thing is to always find out the most important priorities for each client and be able to offer the ideal solution for each one.”
How we personalize our charter flights
“We are charter flight managers and we do not have a fleet as such, so we are not tied to certain aircraft that we can or cannot use at any given time,” explains Alex. “On the contrary, we have access to thousands of aircraft and numerous operators around the world and this allows us to offer our customers many more options.”
“The type and model of aircraft that sports clubs need varies from one team to another, but the priorities are usually the distance between seats and their recline, as well as the operational capabilities of each aircraft. That is why we always have several business class airplanes in stock that meet these requirements.
Other petitions pay more attention to costs. In these cases, we modify our search and present the customer with a number of options that offer a mix of business and economy class seating, allowing the group to travel together on a more affordable charter flight.”
Most sports fan groups prioritize costs, so for them we usually look for airplanes with a lower operating cost and, therefore, with lower costs per seat, as is the case of the Airbus A320 and A321 or of the Boeing B737-800. On the rare occasion that we are asked to transport a smaller group that prefers to avoid the expense of chartering a business class aircraft, our suggestions are Bombardier CRJ-200 or Embraer E145LR type aircraft, which are usually the best options to charter.” .
“When we have the customer’s approval for an aircraft, our flight support team ensures that everything is configured to their specifications and that the customer has all the details and documentation necessary to be able to fly. This role also includes organizing the agreed catering and bar service or finding additional branded items.”
Solutions for last minute requests
“We know that arriving on time and on schedule is a key aspect of charter flights for sports teams,” Alex continues. “And we have experience achieving this goal even with last-minute requests, when customers need to reach their destination in record time after the last-minute cancellation of their original charter or commercial flight.”
“It is in these moments that our experience, connections and knowledge of the sector come to the fore. For example, last year we were tasked with transporting a women’s basketball team to a European league game after their original flight was cancelled. In less than 24 hours, our team found a Saab 340 with capacity for 20 passengers and within the client’s budget.
In addition to our attention to detail and our ability to customize any charter flight, being able to regularly respond to last-minute charter requests is one of our most important assets in the face of competition.”
