FROM TAKEOFF TO KICKOFF: FLEXJET PREPARES FOR SEAMLESS PRIVATE JET TRAVEL TO SUPERBOWL LIX
February 4, 2025
With America’s most storied sporting spectacle only a few days away, Superbowl LIX is gearing up to be a remarkable showdown in the iconic city of New Orleans. As over 120 million people prepare to watch two of the NFL’s top teams battle on the gridiron for the legendary Lombardi Trophy.
Those traveling to the Superbowl and the professionals making it happen are beginning their own preparations to ensure a championship-worthy weekend.
The Superbowl is historically one of the largest private jet fly-in events on the calendar, attracting high-end clientele and some of the world’s most influential individuals to partake in a weekend full of sportsmanship, revelry and memorable individual performances. For those planning on attending via Flexjet or any other private jet provider, here are some basics that should contribute to an unparalleled Superbowl weekend in the Crescent City.
FLYING PRIVATE TO THE BIG EASY: NEW ORLEANS PRIVATE AIRPORT
When looking to travel to New Orleans via private jet, there are two primary airports near downtown and the French Quarter. While most private jet flights are directed to New Orleans Lakefront Airport (NEW), Louis Armstrong International Airport (MSY) is also available as an alternative option as space fills up at NEW. Should your transportation be arranged from the airport to your hotel or straight to the event, please let your Owner Services Specialist know so they can handle any requests according to your exact preferences.
PRE-FLIGHT HUDDLE
As with any major private jet fly-in event, preparation and reservation is key. Our Owner Services team is working diligently to ensure seamless execution and flawless service for every Flexjet private jet en route to the Superbowl. Due to the high volume of aircraft Owners flying to this event, we recommend booking your travels as early as possible to facilitate optimal time slots for efficient arrival and departure. We will of course have a team of professionals stationed at New Orleans Lakefront Airport for additional assistance. However, it is still important to notify your Owner Services Specialist of your travel plans with ample planning time.
Additionally, the FAA is already preparing to implement Traffic Management Initiatives that help maintain equal access to airports and airspace for those taking a jet to the Superbowl. Some of these initiatives include reroute, miles-in-trail, altitude restriction, ground stop and Ground Delay Programs. These measures demand that all aircraft depart within five minutes of their Expect Departure Clearance Time, preventing any potential traffic buildups.
One of the benefits of flying with a provider as experienced and meticulous as Flexjet is that our team is exceptionally qualified to navigate the travel nuances accompanying Superbowl weekend. Our proven record of safety, efficiency and unmatched service is unwavering, even in the face of one of the country’s biggest sporting events.
A WINNING GAME PLAN
All the greats will tell you the key to executing a winning strategy is having a well-thought-out game plan—and our operations at Flexjet certainly take this lesson to heart. To eliminate potential travel disruptions during Superbowl weekend, we are stationing a group of Flexjet Operations, Owner Services and Maintenance professionals on standby in New Orleans for any needs that may arise.
Our strategic planning and service-minded approach provide an elevated experience synonymous with Flexjet—something our aircraft Owners have come to expect in every journey.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY MEASURES
Any major event calls for enhanced safety and process adjustments to ensure security and efficiency for all. Your Owner Services Specialist will discuss anticipated safety measures you may encounter to build sufficient time into your travel itinerary.
Not only will there be enhanced security at the airports themselves, but also the actual event. We encourage all attending to plan accordingly and to reach out to our Owner Services team with any questions.
LEADING LINEUP
For most, a trip to the Superbowl is outside the scope of their typical travel needs. If you are traveling with a group bigger than your aircraft can hold or simply want to add an extra touch of indulgence to what is sure to be a weekend to remember, explore our interchange options.
Our ultra-modern fleet includes Challenger 350/3500, Praetor 600, Gulfstream G450 and Gulfstream G650 aircraft, giving you options for a range of group sizes, preferences and needs.
