Dallas Cowboys owner and president Jerry Jones has implemented a distinct travel strategy for the team, centered around the use of a Boeing 777 for charter operations. This aircraft is integral for transporting players, coaches, trainers, and equipment managers across the country during busy seasons. The Cowboys collaborate with American Airlines, which is based in Dallas-Fort Worth, to manage these logistics.
"The crew working charters for American has a lot of pride. Charters are unique, and crew members are involved in every detail, even down to making sure there is enough water on the plane for players and crew," reported American Airlines News.
The choice of a Boeing 777, a widebody aircraft capable of carrying over 270 passengers, offers significant advantages. These aircraft accommodate rest needs with lie-flat seats and provide spaces for strategizing and reviewing game footage, essential for player recovery and coaching sessions. Nutrition arrangements are made in collaboration with the Cowboys' nutritionists to ensure meals meet athletes' needs.
