Travel By Private Jet to the 2015 Super Bowl

It’s that time of year – the countdown has begun to Super Bowl Sunday, the Championship game of the NFL which will be taking place this year on the 1st February.

One of the biggest events in the world sporting calendar, the Super Bowl is not only the most watched broadcast event in the US on a regular basis, but attracted a global audience in excess of 110m in 2014. In terms of cash alone, it is one of – if not the most – lucrative single sports event in the world from a commercial point of view.

The first Super Bowl was held in 1967, and was contested by the Kansas City Chiefs and the Green Bay Packers, a game which the Packers won 35-10. The match has been held annually ever since and has grown enormously in terms of stature, to a point now at which it is widely considered one of the principal US cultural events, with the day of the game often being considered an unofficial US holiday by many.

The Super Bowl in 2015 will be held between either the Indianapolis Colts or New England Patriots, and the Green Bay Packers or Seattle Seahawks at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2015

It’s a brand new month, and a brand new year packed full of opportunities; and now that it is time to look forward to 2015, we thought that despite a few sore heads we would highlight for you some of the bigger events occurring this year for which we can arrange all of your private jet charter needs.

World Economic Forum, Davos, Switzerland

The World Economic Forum takes place as ever in Davos, Switzerland, from January 21st to January 24th.

This meeting brings together some 2,500 global figures from the worlds of business and politics to shape and improve global and regional agendas.

Superbowl, Phoenix, USA

The 49th Super Bowl is taking place on the 1st February at the University of Phoenix Stadium, Arizona.

The Super Bowl is one of the biggest annual sporting events, watched by over 110m people, and is the jewel in the crown of the NFL calendar.

Expo 2015, Milan, Italy

This year sees the return of the Universal Exposition, held every five years and following the 2010 expo in Shanghai.

The Universal Exposition is a world fair held every 5 years dedicated to highlighting the growth and changes the world is facing, bringing together industries and individuals. The theme of Expo 2015 is ‘Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life’. The event takes place between 1st May and 31st October.

Rugby World Cup, England

The biggest event in Rugby is back and this year it has come home, being hosted in the UK between 18th September and 31st October.

The competition brings together the 20 best national teams, with one being crowned world champion by the end of the tournament.

UK General Election, UK

The UK general election takes place on 7th May this year. Although not necessarily an ‘event’ in the traditional sense, much rides upon the outcome of this year’s election, given the major parties differing attitudes to the national economy and the UK’s relationship with Europe and the part the UK plays in shaping global and European issues.

Champions League Final, Berlin, Germany

The biggest global sporting event in a non World Cup year, this year’s UEFA Champions League Final is held in Berlin on 27th May.

Last year the event was watched by a global audience of over 300 million, and is always one of the sporting highlights of the year

Art Basel, Basel, Switzerland

The world’s biggest contemporary art fair returns from June 18th – 21st in Switzerland, and now features exhibits from over 300 of the world’s leading galleries.

Art Basel has developed into a leading art extravaganza, which attracts visitors from around the world and counts many famous individuals amongst those who make the annual pilgrimage to view the exhibits.

Melbourne Grand Prix, Melbourne, Australia

The curtain raiser for the 2015 Formula 1 season gets the biggest sports road show under way on March 15th.

This year the competition takes in 20 races across 5 continents, but traditionally the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne is one of the most important in the calendar as we get to see the race form of the various competing teams for the first time and assess who are the likely championship contenders for the year.

For a full schedule of events in 2015, please see our online calendar here.

For private jet charter to or from any major event in 2015, you can rely on Villiers Jets to take you there. Get in touch today for pricing and availability.

2015 African Cup of Nations

African Cup of Nations

2015 African Cup of Nations

The 2015 Africa Cup of Nations begins next month in Equatorial Guinea. This is the 30th edition of the competition, which is the principal international football championship of Africa. It is overseen by the Confederation of African Football.

In light of this, we thought we would provide you with a detailed guide to the competition.

Equatorial Guinea – Background

The competition in 2015 will start on the 17th January, with the final being played on the 8th February. Having originally been scheduled to be held in Morocco, the Moroccan authorities refused to host the tournament in view of the Ebola epidemic in West Africa. Equatorial Guinea therefore stepped in to host the competition in their place.

Equatorial Guinea itself is a country of approximately 28,000 sq km’s, with a population of 650,000, and the official languages are Spanish and French. The capital is Malabo, with the largest city being Bata.

Stadiums

The four cities and stadiums hosting this year’s matches are Malabo, Bata, Mongomo and Ebebiyin:
Nuevo Estadio de Malabo, Malabo – capacity 15,250
Estadio de Bata, Bata – capacity 40,000
Estadio de Mongomo Stadium, Mongomo – capacity 15,000
Nuevo Estadio de Ebebiyin, Ebebiyin – capacity 5,000
