Private Jets and Helicopters of Sports Stars
Ever wondered how professional sports stars travel around the world in style? Join us as we take a look at how footballers, tennis players and formula 1 racing drivers travel around the world in private jets and helicopters.
- Cristiano Ronaldo - Football
Despite being the first professional footballer to have scored a record of 900 goals throughout his career, Cristiano Ronaldo also loves to travel in style. His private jet of choice is a Gulfstream G650 which can carry between 11-18 passengers.
- Maria Sharapova - Tennis
Despite retiring from tennis in 2020, Maria Sharapova is considered to be one of the greats of all time. When travelling across the world to various functions, this former Russian tennis star prefers to use an Embraer Legacy 650 which runs on a Rolls Royce engine and can comfortably accommodate up to 14 passengers.
- Tiger Woods - Golf
When he’s not swinging a golf club around, Tiger Woods can be found travelling the world in a Gulfstream G550, a long range heavy private jet known for its luxury and high performance. With a range of 12,501km and ability to hold up to 19 passengers, it’s no wonder this is his plane of choice.
- Simone Biles - Gymnastics
Simone Biles is an 11 times Olympic medal holder for the United States including 30 world championships titles. When she’s not mesmerising us with her balance and agility around a gymnasium, she likes to travel in a variety of jets made by Amalfi, a leading private jet charter based across 170 countries.
- Lewis Hamilton - F1
This very special British racing driver may be an icon of F1, but he also likes to travel in style when he leaves the country. He is known for owning a Bombardier Challenger 605, a formidable business jet with a range of 4,000 miles that he purchased for $23 million in 2013 just as he left McLaren to drive for Mercedes.
- Serena Williams - Tennis
Another tennis star who also likes to travel in style, Serena Williams owns a Gulfstream G650, one of the fastest and most luxurious private jets in the world which can carry between 11 to 18 passengers at a time.
- Kobe Bryant - Basketball
An American basketball legend with a 20 year career, before his tragic accident in 2020, Kobe Bryant liked to travel around in a Sikorsky S-76 helicopter which he used for personal and business use.
- Neymar Jr - Football
This left wing Brazilian great is known as one of the greatest football players of all time, and like the rest of his cohort - he’s not exempt from travelling around the world in style. He currently uses a Cessna Citation Sovereign which is known for being well suited for regional travel and can hold up to 12 passengers.
