For URC, Premiership, Top 14, Champions Cup & Six Nations.
Rugby Team Charter Flights.
Sized to a 50+ party.
Squad and staff travel arranged around training schedules, kick-off times and recovery windows — with a dedicated Privavia coordinator on the ground from boarding to bag claim.
SPORTS TEAM CHARTERS / RUGBY
WHY RUGBY TEAMS CHARTER
A senior rugby travelling party rarely sits below fifty.
Players, coaches, medical, analysts, kit staff, media and operations — that's a 50+ manifest moving between training base, stadium and team hotel on a tight midweek-to-weekend cycle. Commercial schedules don't accommodate it; charter does.
Privavia sources the right aircraft for the route — Q400 or ATR 72 for the short hops, regional jet or narrowbody for European legs — and puts a coordinator on the ground at both ends to manage the squad, the staff and the bags.

COORDINATOR ON EVERY MOVEMENT
Built for rugby's operational reality.
Six operational principles applied to every rugby charter we arrange.
WHAT SETS PRIVAVIA APART
A coordinator with the squad. From boarding to bag claim.
Every Privavia rugby charter is staffed with a dedicated coordinator who travels with the party. They check the squad in, walk the bag count, work the apron, and meet the team off the aircraft at the destination
The team manager has one Privavia number to call — not a handler, not a call centre, not a different operator at every airfield
The single biggest difference between a smooth team movement and a chaotic one is a person on the ground who owns it
