Private jet-setters are the reason every Super Bowl comes with super-size air traffic. Officials expect over 1,000 additional planes to descend on metropolitan Phoenix's eight airports and beyond this week for the matchup between the Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles as well as the Phoenix Open, which wraps up on the same day.
Many of them will be carrying entertainers, sports figures and corporate VIPs who don’t have to deal with long security lines or cramped coach seats. Instead they’ll be sitting back eating filet mignon and imbibing. Even with the expected long line of airplane departures after the game and high airport fees, some say nothing beats the convenience.
All reservations for arrival and departure times are handled through fixed-base operators at the airports. It's imperative travelers don’t miss reserved time slot since so many flights are scheduled out. And on a high-traffic periods like right after the game, the takeoff fees for private planes can be sky-high. That’s why Morris plans to leave early next week rather than be caught in the "air show" of nonstop departures Sunday and Monday.
"People think it’s sexy and there’s certain elements of it that can be," Morris said. "So, my deal is about compressing time." Ion does not own or operate any aircraft. They work with a network of 5,000 aircraft globally, Spitzer said. "We’ve seen just a huge change in the reason why people are flying privately. It used to be mostly for ease and convenience," Spitzer said. "And it still is, but it’s actually turned into more of a necessity now."
