The New England Patriots, a prominent name in sports, are not only known for their achievements on the field but also for their unique approach to air travel. The team stands out by owning two Boeing 767-300 jets, making them one of the few NFL teams with private aircraft. This initiative was led by owner Robert Kraft and is noted for providing flexibility and comfort during the demanding NFL season.
According to One Mile At A Time, these aircraft were acquired in December 2017 from a Boston-based holding company. They were initially delivered to American Airlines in 1991 before being repurposed for the Patriots with an all-first-class seating arrangement to accommodate the needs of players and staff. Each jet is powered by General Electric CF6 engines.
When not transporting the team, these planes are leased to other entities like Eastern Airlines and Omni Air International. NBC News reported that they were used by the Los Angeles Dodgers after their World Series victory last year and have been part of international humanitarian missions.
