With the FIFA World Cup tournament set to kick off next month across North America, NBAA’s traffic desk is providing advice for operators intending to visit any of the 16 host cities in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Much as it does for similar high-profile sporting events such as the Super Bowl, the organization suggests that aircraft operators obtain parking reservations with their preferred FBO as early as possible.

NBAA also said to expect traffic flow measures to be initiated, particularly as the tournament reaches its final rounds. That airspace management could include ground stops, airspace flow programs, time-based metering, miles-in-trail restrictions, and airborne holding.
