Lakers' private jets: A look into travel strategies and aircraft specifications

It was recently noted that entrepreneur Mark Cuban purchased a Boeing 757-200 aircraft for the Dallas Mavericks. This move underscores the usefulness of large jets for transporting sports teams. The Los Angeles Lakers also utilize private jets, including a Gulfstream G550 owned by Jeanie Buss and a Boeing 757-200. The National Basketball Association has furthermore leased 13 Airbus A321neo aircraft for team transport.

Amalfi Jets operates the Lakers' 757-200 at their disposal. This aircraft has been “meticulously customized to cater to the needs of the team,” offering a layout for 63 passengers and equipped with advanced entertainment systems, comfortable seating, and upgraded amenities. Kolin Jones, CEO of Amalfi Jets, highlighted the company's role in logistics management, emphasizing their commitment to “standards of excellence” for the Lakers' air travel.

Jeanie Buss acquired the Gulfstream G550 in 2017, similar to Mark Cuban's acquisition of the Mavericks’ 757-200. The Gulfstream is described as featuring a custom interior suitable for transporting athletes, providing “a luxurious and convenient way to travel.”
