Why an athlete flies private
For a top athlete, private flight is not an image luxury but a performance tool: optimal recovery between matches, tailored schedules around the sporting calendar, and privacy away from crowded airports. The time and energy saved on the ground matter as much as speed in the air.
The aircraft that fits this profile
An international footballer's profile — long distances, team or family aboard, frequent travel — calls for a large-cabin, long-range aircraft. Our fleet holds several models in this class, from the Gulfstream G650 to the Bombardier Global 7500, able to link most intercontinental city pairs directly.
Frequently asked questions
Which private jet does Cristiano Ronaldo use?
Information on the precise aircraft used by public figures comes from the press and changes over time; we do not repeat unverified figures or registration numbers. What is certain is that an elite footballer's profile — frequent intercontinental travel, family and entourage aboard — fits the large-cabin long-range class, like the Gulfstream G650 or the Bombardier Global. That is exactly the class you can charter at Aviation Privée, without owning an aircraft. In practice, this profile — Lisbon, Madrid, Riyadh, Manchester or Turin legs with family and entourage aboard — calls for twelve to fourteen seats, roughly seven thousand five hundred nautical miles of range and a cruise close to Mach 0.9. Almost every intercontinental pair is flown in one leg, which protects recovery time between matches and allows a same-day return home even after a long European trip without sacrificing rest. Every segment — turboprop, light jet, midsize, large cabin, ultra-long range — remains available on demand to match the mission, with no time commitment and no overhead cost on your side.
Can you charter the same type of aircraft?
Yes. You do not need to own a jet to fly in the same aircraft class as a public figure. On-demand charter gives access to a large-cabin Gulfstream, Bombardier Global or Dassault Falcon for a specific trip, with no capital tied up. Our advisors size the aircraft to your passenger count and route, and return an all-in quote within sixty minutes. On short notice, we confirm the slot, airport timings and crew in parallel: the aircraft can lift in under four hours, and we handle the business-aviation terminal at both ends of the trip. You receive a detailed quote including fuel, landing fees, catering and baggage handling, with no hidden costs and no capital tied up, with the option of a one-way or round-trip itinerary. Every segment — turboprop, light jet, midsize, large cabin, ultra-long range — remains available on demand to match the mission, with no time commitment and no overhead cost on your side.
