German soccer team Bayern München has signed up FAI Aviation Group to provide private flights throughout the 2024-25 season. The exclusive partnership announced on September 13 does not specify which aircraft will be used for team charters, but the German operator operates an all-Bombardier fleet consisting of five Global Express jets, six Challenger 604s, and five Learjet 60s.

The aircraft management and charter operator has worked with Bayern München since the Covid pandemic when it provided air ambulance services to the club. “Business aviation is a regular go-to for international professional soccer teams, delivering efficiency, time-saving, discrete air travel from private air terminals at hub airports or dedicated business airports,” said FAI’s ground chairman and founder, Siegfried Axtmann.
