The team needed to get home after their NRL quarter-final match against the North Queensland Cowboys.
Getting the Melbourne Storm home after a game
A travel agent in Australia asked us to help fly Melbourne Storm players home, following the team’s rugby league quarter-final game against the North Queensland Cowboys. The team’s tight schedule meant they needed to arrive in Melbourne at a specific date and time, so we set about finding a suitable aircraft with availability.
Our Solution
Route: Townsville > Melbourne
Aircraft: Embraer E190
Our team found a solution for this request within just a few hours of receiving the client’s call, giving them peace of mind that everything was in hand.
Reaching out to aircraft operators, we sourced an Embraer E190, working with the carrier to fit the charter in around their scheduled flights.
The narrow-body aircraft was priced within our client’s budget and had plenty of space for the 50 passengers and their equipment.
The Finer Details
Convenient Communication: We created a WhatsApp group for the client and our team, making it easier to liaise with each other and provide real-time updates.
Bespoke Catering: We arranged for pizzas to be served during the flight for the players to enjoy after their match.
