The Champions League final, between PSG and Inter Milan, on Saturday (31.MAI.2025), in Munich, Germany, increased traffic from private jets in Europe. The increase is driven by the arrival of VIP fans, executives, athletes, celebrities and representatives of sponsors who choose exclusive and tailored displacement.

According to a survey of Poder360 with data from the FlightTar24, only 24 hours before the eve of the championship final 96 private aircraft They landed at Munich-Franz Airport Josef Strauss and Landshut airport-thereafter part of them comes from France and Italy, teams from the title.

According to the executive aviation company, the normal daily average is estimated at about 30 to 40 private jets per day. The peak of landings was recorded on Saturday morning. About 48 aircraft landed from 8 am local time (1 pm in Brasilia) to 19h, two hours before the start of the game.

Special operation and logistics overload

According to APG, up to 1,200 private aircraft arrives at Munich International Airport are expected in a total of 1,200. The number is 33 times the normal daily average.

To deal with increased demand, Munich airport implemented special operating procedures, including rigorous slots (landing and takeoff time) restrictions, limited patio permanence time and coordinated use of soil services (FBAS – Fixed Base Operators).

“The capacity will be severely restricted. We recommend that all operators confirm their slots and logistics plans in advance”says Fly APG in its guide to Champions.

In addition, operators and passengers should prepare for possible parking restrictions due to lack of space for executive aircraft.

Prices rise up to 50%

The pressure on infrastructure also impacts costs. According to Fly APG, the prices of private flights to Munich have risen from 30% a 50% This week, reflecting the scarcity of slots, high demand for more complex FBOs and logistics. The shorter flights, such as Paris and Munich, are among the most disputed.

To mitigate operational risks, many freeders are recommending drop-and-go flights, where the aircraft leaves passengers in Munich and goes to another airport to wait for the return.
