WNBA to Start Full-Time Charter Flights This Season, Costs $25M
May 7, 2024, 08:25 PM
The WNBA has announced that it will begin providing full-time chartered flights for all teams starting this season, a significant shift from its previous policy of using commercial flights. Commissioner Cathy Engelbert stated that the initiative is set to cost the league approximately $25 million per year for the next two seasons. This move comes after years of discussion and demand from players for better travel conditions to reduce wear and tear on their bodies. The decision was influenced by recent attention on the league and the logistical challenges players faced, such as long travel days on commercial flights. The league is also expected to focus on roster expansion ahead of the next CBA, with a potential opt-out in 2025.
