This weekend in Seville, the Copa del Rey final saw Real Sociedad face Atletico Madrid, and Smart Aviation was once again involved in organising chartered flights for supporters.
Fans travelled south from Vitoria Airport (VIT) to Seville Airport (SVQ) and Jerez Airport (XRY) to see their team play at La Cartuja Stadium in Seville, Spain on Saturday 18th April.
Three return flights, operated by our trusted European airline operators, transported nearly 600 fans on behalf of our sports tour operator client. Three Boeing 737-800 aircraft accommodated up to 189 passengers on each flight, with buy-on-board catering available on the two-hour journey.
A big congratulations to Real Sociedad on their win over Atletico Madrid! The gripping match concluded at 4-3 on penalties.
Mark Hawkins, Founder & Managing Director said “we worked quickly to source and secure aircraft as soon as the Copa del Rey finalists were known, ensuring our client’s flights were with reputable and reliable carriers.
We are now in our 21st year of offering charter flights for sports tour operations and have been involved in every European football final since 2005. All our flight operations are expertly coordinated from our office near London Gatwick, proving that you don’t need a global team and offices to deliver exceptional service.”
Our attention now turns to supporter charter flights for the UEFA finals next month, and the FIFA World Cup in June and July.
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.
