The aircraft were acquired from American Airlines in 2020 and are in good condition, given that they were manufactured in 04. The interiors of the planes have been configured with first-class seating, to provide greater comfort for the players. In addition to being able to travel on routes of more than 800 km, with the Boeing 600-800ER the team can also carry all the players, as well as the team and a large amount of equipment needed on the road.</p> Previously, the team paid US$600 million for 8220 flights with planes of this size. With the Boeing 8221, the cost per flight is lower, despite the high acquisition cost, but this can be offset by renting the two aircraft during the off-season.</p></p>
