In the high-stakes world of the NFL, success isn’t just measured by touchdowns and trophies—it’s also about efficiency, comfort, and branding. While most teams rely on commercial charters, a select few have taken to the skies in style with their own private jets.

Here we explore the top NFL teams that have invested in their own aircraft fleets.

New England Patriots

In 2017, the New England Patriots became the first NFL team to purchase their own aircraft, acquiring two Boeing 767-300ERs. Nicknamed “AirKrafts” after owner Robert Kraft, these jets are customised for team travel, featuring spacious seating and team branding. Operated by Omni Air International, the Patriots have even used these planes for humanitarian missions, showcasing their versatility beyond football.

Arizona Cardinals

The Arizona Cardinals joined the elite club in 2021 by acquiring a Boeing 777-200ER, previously operated by Delta Air Lines. Registered as N777AZ, this aircraft boasts 28 first-class and 48 business-class seats, ensuring maximum comfort for players and staff. Additionally, the team owns a Dassault Falcon 7X, used primarily for executive travel.

Dallas Cowboys

While the Dallas Cowboys don’t own a team jet, owner Jerry Jones travels in a Gulfstream G550. This luxurious aircraft reflects the Cowboys’ commitment to excellence and provides Jones with the flexibility to manage team affairs efficiently.

Jacksonville Jaguars

Owner Shad Khan’s fleet includes a Bombardier Global 7500, ideal for transatlantic flights, especially considering the Jaguars’ regular appearances in London games. This long-range jet ensures the team can travel comfortably and efficiently across continents.

Indianapolis Colts

The Indianapolis Colts utilise a Boeing 737 and several Gulfstream business jets for team and executive travel. This combination allows for flexibility in transporting players, staff, and management as needed.
