Charter Flights to the Paris Olympics

Anticipation for the Paris 2024 Olympics Intensifies

The Summer Olympics return triumphantly to la République, with belle Paris appointed as main host city. Between 26 July and 11 August, France’s capital, along with 16 other cities across metropolitan France – and the outlier of Tahiti in French Polynesia – will host the 33rd iteration of the modern Olympiad. With 10,500 athletes and an estimated 15 million visitors descending on the city with less than four months to go, time is of the essence to guarantee your place in Paris.

The global event unites athletes from 203 invited nations, inclusive of the returning Refugee Team (introduced at the 2016 Rio Olympics), and, with a total of 329 gold medals available in 32 sports, the finish line is lurching ever closer for our Olympians. This year’s event is one of the most eagerly anticipated games in recent memory, being the first iteration to happen since the pandemic truly free of Covid’s clutches; for some competitors, these games have literally been several years in the making. 

Four new sports have been added to the roster this year – surfing (competitors will take to the waves in the South Pacific surrounding the territory of French Polynesia), sport climbing, breaking (also known as breakdancing), and skateboarding – though some of these have featured as exhibition sports in previous events.

Ground-Breaking Games

Paris 2024 is breaking new ground, both literally and figuratively. Construction of the Olympic Village is the biggest structural undertaking of the games – located seven kilometres north of the centre of Paris, and less than five minutes away from the Stade de France, the Village has a combination of function and convenience at its heart.

100% of the athletes will train within 20 minutes of the Village, and 60% of those will train within the Village itself, meaning that athletes are able to recover in their downtime in a welcoming atmosphere where a blend of cultures and a fostering of international relationships are celebrated. Sustainability is a core consideration for the French, with the Village being built to the highest ethical and ecological standards, having also spent €1.4bn  on cleaning the river Seine for the Games’ swimming events.

The ethos truly at the cœur of the Paris Games is openness; a record number of spectators are expected as Parisian landmarks transform into open-air competitive arenas. Paris 2024 promises to make history as it becomes the first Olympics to ever hold the opening ceremony within a city centre. In shelving the traditional stadium setting, the palpable excitement promises to wash over the entire city, but most importantly, it allows those usually unable to experience the Games in a conventional way the opportunity to engage with them. Indeed, the spirit of the Games deliberately revolves around inclusivity, equality and ethical responsibility, ensuring that its slogan, ‘Games wide open!’, rings true.

With over 15 million visitors expected to descend on the city, and 4 billion spectators worldwide, time is of the essence for you to ensure you experience an historic event of this magnitude. Undeniably, traditional transport routes will shake under the pressure of the sheer number of people descending on the city; why not take the stress and strain out of your own journey by chartering a jet with us, leaving you to enjoy the Games?
