Private jet charter for Athletics/Olympics events

Back to Sports events

Gold standard air charter solutions

Representing your country in Athletics events is arguably one of the most respected achievements in sport. Athletes may be awarded several trophies throughout their career, but nothing will be as special as a gold medal. Whether it is competing in the Olympic Games or World Athletic Championships, these are times where whole nations back their competitors to lead their country to glory. Attending an athletics championship via dedicated air charter is the ultimate way to travel and fully immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the competition.

At Chapman Freeborn, we regularly fly our clients who choose private jet charter for sport events as a means to make the most of their leisure time, as well as providing private jet charter for sports teams themselves. Sport is undeniably a global phenomenon and distance and geography is no longer a problem. With our offices and worldwide contacts, we can provide in-country private jet hire for sporting events as well as long haul across countries and continents.
