AA Gent: Wevelgem --> Rome FCO ?

[luchtzak]

Yesterday Het Laatste Nieuws reported that soccer team AA Gent chartered a plane that will fly them from Wevelgem to Rome for the Europa League game against AS Roma. Is this possible or is it a journalist typo (about the take-off in Wevelgem) ?

[Mirror]

The 2 planes are scheduled to leave from Ostend to Rome FCO
0900 BLE334
0900 BLE552 (DEPARTED0925)

2 planes leaving from Ostend are fans only, not the team as far as I know...

The team indeed flew from Wevelgem on Tuesday. It also flew from Wevelgem to Belorussia where Gent played a few weeks ago. So not a typo from the journalist.

Well, after all, Wevelgem is an international airport

One Blue Line is still at Ostend with a technical failure, around 1300, there's another one coming to take the supporters to Rome

On what plane?

All I know it was an aircraft that could carry 33 passengers. Hence, the press couldn't travel with the team. Press didn't travel with the team to Rome either.
