Football & Sports Related Charters

[Silvercity]

I believe the SAA aircraft positioned in and out to Germany, but i take your point.

I can't ever remember in over fifty years of spotting, national carriers operating
football supporter charters, they don't usually have any spare aircraft available.

Another thought SAA I believe are short of abit of cash, maybe was easy picking for them.

A footballed related charter is due around 12.20 from Rimini . ATR 72 of Spiritair.

The is a BMI service due in at 1600 from London Stansted, thinking this has something to do with a sporting event.

There is a post in the Dried Fruit today saying that Liverpool FC flew from LPL to EMA yesterday for their match at Leicester City today. If football clubs go on like this they'll be sending buggies to take their players to the toilet.

That just shows that there is too much money in football. What will fans think of it when they struggle to get to matches?

There is a Titan Airways flight advertised as departing at 12.00 noon tomorrow to Naples. I'm guessing it's sports related.

I passed through the airport in Sunday and there seemed to be quite a lot of young sporty Italians around the terminal. Of course could be unrelated !

Players from Red Star Belgrade struggled to land in Liverpool today during extremely high winds at the airport.

The chartered flight, that landed at Liverpool John Lennon Airport shortly after 12pm today, battled the adverse weather conditions to land the team safely.

Incredible footage, taken at the airport, shows how a skillful pilot managed to land the Air Serbia flight despite the unexpected wind.
In the video clip, posted by The Aviators, captures the moment the plane approaches the runway and attempts to land.

Thank goodness the aircraft landed safely. My thoughts went back 60 years to the Manchester United disaster at Munich that occured when the team was returning from a match at Red Star Belgrade.
