Flight cancelled: Hasselt ASL Travel to organise a VIP charter flight for UEFA Europa League game Ghent – Genk

Share

Hasselt travel agency ASL Travel is organising a VIP charter flight for KRC Genk’s away game against … KAA Ghent in the upcoming UEFA Europa League 1/8 final.

Fans who pay 295 € will take off at Liège Airport (LGG) with a chartered ATR 72-200 and land at Kortrijk-Wevelgem airport (KJK) after a flight of just 160 km, from where a bus will bring them to a hotel to spend the night before the game. The next day starts with a city tour. After the match on the 9th of March, the VIP passengers will fly back with a departure at 00:30 and arrival at Liège airport at 01:15.

For this stunt, ASL Travel needs 55 passengers to break-even, but the flight will be guaranteed as from 40 passengers.

Will there be a similar flight in the opposite direction one week later for the return match?

Not enough participants, the flight is cancelled! (03/03/2017)

Working for 25 years in the aviation industry, I changed my career and became a firefighter/EMT in 2021. I like to spend my free time with my two sons, girlfriend, family and friends. I love to travel, wine and dine and support my favourite football squad KV Mechelen. Once an Ironman 70.3 finisher and dreaming of completing a full distance.
