When it comes to private jets, World Cup influx will pale next to Taylor Swift
Officials say seven World Cup matches will test airport capacity, but the private-jet surge is expected to stay below Taylor Swift’s 181-plane day.
Metro Vancouver airports are preparing for an increase in private jet arrivals during the FIFA World Cup starting next month.
Vancouver International Airport typically handles 15 to 25 private planes daily but expects a spike during the World Cup event.
The World Cup's private jet arrivals are not expected to match the 181 private planes that landed during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour in December 2024, according to Andy Margolis.
Alpha Aviation is planning extra plane parking and helicopter transfers to manage visitor traffic, using Taylor Swift's tour as the benchmark for private jet arrivals.
