Every four years, at the FIH Hockey World Cup, fans flock to watch some of the most skilful and entertaining hockey played out on the international stage. This year, the games will take place in Belgium and the Netherlands in August, bringing together the world’s greatest teams across two nations.
With the match schedule for the tournament now released, we’re ready to assist international federations, media and specialist sports tour operators with air charter solutions for group travel to the fixtures in Amsterdam and Wavre.
The games will be played between 15th and 30th August at the Wagener stadium in Amstelveen, Netherlands and the Belfius Hockey Arena in Wavre. The women’s final will be held in the Netherlands and the men’s final will take place in Belgium.
Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport (AMS) offers easy access to the Wagener stadium, just a 15-minute journey by car or 30 minutes by public transport, with additional buses laid on for the games.
Brussels Airport (BRU) and Brussels South Charleroi Airport (CRL) are equidistant from Belfius Hockey Arena in Wavre, Belgium, offering flexibility when chartering an aircraft into the area.
Scott Harding, an Aircraft Charter Broker, said, “We’re already seeing strong interest for air charters from teams and groups, and it’s exciting to be involved in another international sports tournament. Our European base and experience in large-scale sporting events mean that we’re well placed to source dedicated aircraft and handle all operational aspects of the flights so that our clients can focus on the games.”
We frequently assist national sports teams with travel to their fixtures and there’s a wide range of aircraft that perfectly suit smaller groups of around 30 – 100 passengers, with space in the hold for luggage, kit and equipment.
Sport is in our DNA.
We follow the fixtures and monitor the draws, staying one step ahead to anticipate sports travel requirements. With strong airline and operator relationships worldwide, we can secure aircraft that others may not be able to.
