According to the sources mentioned in the previous section, the Delta air lines are likely to be responsible for employing and operating these 13 Airbus aircraft. Delta is already the official carrier of the American Professional League championship, as it runs a large number of flights rented for the American Professional League teams in the past. In August 2024, athlete I also mentioned that Delta was named in a partnership deal with WNBA, the women’s basketball division, as it provides transportation for all 12 women’s teams throughout the seasons of 2024 and 2025.
The deal has yet succeeded, and is comfortable for both sides, as it plays many privileges in the cities of the Delta Center: New York, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Atlanta and Sayatel. The deal was also driven by the need for WNBA to watch the players, for security and luxurious reasons.
For example, the Wnba Prittney Griner player was arrested at Moscow Airport and held in Russia for ten months in 2022, after VAPE cartridges containing cannabis oil in its luggage. Special flight should not be seen as a way to circumvent the laws of local drugs in a country, but reducing the possibility of players who fly commercially removes a layer of overlap of players during travel, which can be valuable when political tensions between countries are high.
