Podcast: Flying to the 2022 FIFA World Cup

Oct. 10,  2022

As many as 3 million people from around the world are expected to head to Doha, Qatar next month for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Many of them will travel aboard business aircraft, so operators need to be mindful of the strict travel procedures throughout the region. “It’s crucial [that] operators, crew, brokers and trip support companies explain to passengers and their clients exactly what the restrictions are and exactly what the penalties are,” emphasizes Gama Aviation’s Tom Murphy, “so there’s absolute clarity on the risks.”

In this episode of NBAA’s “Flight Plan,” host Rob Finfrock speaks with:
  • James Collas, director of operations for UAS International Trip Support
  • Tom Murphy, head of FBOs and aircraft management specialist for Gama Aviation
  • Subhi Sendyan, associate director of operations at UAS International Trip Support
