Patriots Solve the NFL’s Airline Problem by Buying Team Planes
Key Takeaways:
- The New England Patriots became the first NFL team to own their "airkrafts," purchasing two Boeing 767 jets for team travel, with one serving as a backup.
- These custom-liveried planes feature first-class seating throughout, providing ample comfort for players and staff.
- This move comes as other major airlines have reduced or suspended charter services for several NFL teams, creating potential travel challenges across the league.
- The high cost and decreasing availability of chartered flights suggest that owning private aircraft could become a trend for other wealthy NFL franchises.
