Smart charter supporters to all the big sporting occasions

Smart Aviation, industry experts in sports charters, are pleased once again, to be chartering thousands of football and rugby fans.

Months of preparation are coming to a climax, as we reach the long-awaited European finals of both the major football competitions, as well as the finale of the European club rugby season, all taking place in the next few weeks.

Smart Aviation have been working tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure all logistics have been arranged for our sports travel clients to deliver the very best tour packages to customers. Thanks to our experience in the market we are able to secure aircraft at a time of huge demand, with our trusted suppliers once again enabling us to offer the very best solutions to our clients.

Smart Aviation, established 2005, have almost 200 years’ experience in the aviation industry.  Every challenge is accepted and no task is overlooked.  Smart will not compromise on the quality of the service provided and always ensure we provide the most cost-effective and innovative solutions. We can proudly say that our clients safely rely on us year on year as we take care of their needs and ensure they don’t miss the most eagerly awaited sports fixtures.

Here is what May and June will look like for Smart Aviation as we look to be flying several thousand passengers to the biggest sporting events on the calendar.

Leinster vs Saracens – Rugby Champions Cup final
On the 11th May, Smart will be chartering over 1,000 Leinster fans from Ireland to Newcastle on day return charters to the Champions cup final which will kick off at 5pm at St James’ Park in Newcastle.

 

Champions League Final – Madrid, 1st June
Following Liverpool’s stunning comeback against Barcelona, we have confirmed more than 14 flights for Red’s supporters to Madrid for the Champions League final, and following Tottenham’s victory in Amsterdam, we are booking up London based departures for their fans travelling to Spurs’ very first Champions League Final.

Europa League Final
We wait with anticipation tonight to find out if both Chelsea or Arsenal can make it to the final on 29th May. (It will also be tense at Smart HQ with both Chelsea and Arsenal fans waiting for the result!) Following tonight’s results, Smart will face the challenge of arranging flights for fans of either club to the final which is being played in Baku, Azerbaijan on 29th May.

European charter solutions
Smart don’t just operate in the UK, we provide logistic solutions for European based clients and we can’t forget the final weekend of Premier League fixtures, with the title and top places all still to play for.  We have chartered two 189 seat aircraft from Scandinavia to Manchester on 12th May bringing Scandinavian Manchester United fans to their game versus Cardiff and also Nordic Liverpool supporters to their final match of the season versus Wolverhampton Wanderers.

 

This will be the 13th Champions League that Smart have been heavily involved in, and our extensive knowledge in operating sports flights has enabled us to answer the most challenging requests and meet the most unique requirements when chartering teams and supporters on behalf of specialist sports travel clients.
