High-capacity and VIP air charter logistics for the world’s premier football tournament. Secure aircraft sourcing, international landing permits, and coordinated team movements across all host cities.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup™ will be held across 16 iconic cities spanning the United States, Canada, and Mexico, marking the first time the tournament will be hosted by three countries. This expanded format not only increases the number of participating teams to 48 but also showcases a diverse blend of cultures, stadium experiences, and regional fanbases.
As a global air charter leader, ACC Aviation is positioned to support seamless travel between these host cities—ensuring fans, VIPs, teams, and sponsors reach each venue efficiently and in style. Whether it’s back-to-back fixtures in different countries or a curated tour of group-stage matches, our expert team coordinates every flight and schedule to match your itinerary.
We source dedicated aircraft configured to maximize rest, recovery, and privacy for players and coaching staff. Our flight operations team coordinates specialized athletic catering, handles oversized athletic equipment baggage, and adapts schedules instantly to meet tournament progression and knockout-stage timelines.
For corporate hospitality programs, media crews, and tournament sponsors, we source regional turboprops, midsize business jets, or high-capacity commercial VIP airliners. As a broker, we negotiate terms that allow clients to define departure schedules, choose onboard catering profiles, and utilize dedicated airport check-in desks.
For individuals and small groups traveling to the Paddock Club or race weekend, private charters offer an alternative to congested commercial terminals. Fly on your own schedule, utilize private FBOs closer to the circuit, and arrange return flights that accommodate post-race podium schedules.
