We had just hours to help fly Morgan Burnett of the Green Bay Packers to his retirement party after a mix-up with commercial flights.
Flying Morgan Burnett to his retirement party
In the summer of 2022, a sports agent asked us to help fly Morgan Burnett on a round-trip from Georgia to his retirement party in Wisconsin. The client had planned to use a scheduled service, but realised he’d booked tickets on the wrong flight just hours before a press conference on the day of the event. We sprung into action to arrange a same-day charter that would get him there in time.
Our Solution
Route: Atlanta > Green Bay > Atlanta
Aircraft: Learjet 60XR
Our knowledgeable team knew we needed a speedy light or mid-size to transport the two passengers in time. Within 20 minutes, we’d reached out to industry contacts and sourced a Learjet 60XR that was available and could be crewed at short notice.
The client’s agent quickly gave us the go-ahead and the flight departed with minutes to spare, getting the client to his press conference in the nick of time.
The Finer Details
Rapid Response: We had the flight in the air less than three hours after receiving this urgent request.
Personal Touches: Despite the tight turnaround, our broker personally saw off the flight and even made sure there was a bottle of Champagne on board.
