Overview
- News reports on Sunday said club president Luiz Eduardo Baptista outlined a plan to finalize a three‑to‑four‑year lease after the World Cup break.
- The proposal would guarantee about 30 to 35 flights and keep the aircraft based in Rio de Janeiro for departures whenever the club decides to travel.
- When the team does not need it, the plane could carry other clubs to help cut Flamengo’s operating costs.
- Flamengo already flies on chartered planes for every trip, yet the squad still faces long waits because it must fit airline schedules.
- A crowded run of 18 matches and more than 27,000 kilometers of travel before the pause has driven wider planning, including sending a representative to Cusco to vet hotels, training sites, and airport links for a Libertadores trip.
