UEFA EL, GS MD6, 13 December 2018

13 December 2018

It is not very often that the "little brother" takes the UEFA Champions League out of the limelight, particularly when it comes to air travel. The UCL matches usually attract an audience far superior to what the second-string teams in the UEL do. But for once, this changes a little. Some very keen sets of supporters have chosen to dig deep apparently and will travel long ways to see their clubs of choice. This means that there will be rather unusual extra flights for FC Zürich supporters to Varna (on the way to Razgrad), for Salzburg supporters to Glasgow and for the particularly numerous support of Eintracht Frankfurt to Rome:

For the first time, Basel will charter an Air X aircraft to travel abroad. Boeing 737-500 9H-YES will do the job, not its first football assignment and surely not its last:

Burnley FC vs. Olympiacos Piraeus

The time difference of two hours back from Piraeus to Burnley leads to an early arrival for Olympiacos. The visitors will look to defend their 3-1 lead from the first leg while Burnley give their best to stay in contention, even if the weekends' performances have tailed off recently, given the double fixtures they currently play every week:

FC Basel vs. Apollon Limassol

The team from Cyprus is taking a rather unusual way to get from Paphos to Basel, flying with Astra Airlines' BAe 146-300 SX-DIZ, which has to take an intermediate stop on the way from PFO to BSL, stopping in Thessaloniki. Also, the return flight at 6h in the morning is something very unusually seen in the professional football circuit:
