Bayern Munich Reschedules Flight for Union Berlin Cup Match
Bayern Munich has made adjustments to their travel plans for the upcoming DFB-Pokal Round of 16 match against Union Berlin. The match is scheduled for 20:45 (local time) and will be broadcast live on ZDF and Sky. The team, managed by Vincent Kompany, was set to depart from Oberpfaffenhofen, a private airfield located 30 kilometers from their training facility.
Bayern Munich’s Flight Rescheduling
Originally, the club had arranged for two private jets from the airline Private Wings to take off around 17:00. This location is preferred due to easier access to the runway compared to the larger Munich airport. However, dense fog in the Munich area disrupted these plans, making it impossible for the team to leave at the scheduled time.
Change of Departure Airport
- Departure Airport: Oberpfaffenhofen
- Alternate Airport: Augsburg Airport
- Distance from Oberpfaffenhofen: Approximately 70 kilometers
- Delay: Additional travel time caused by weather conditions
The team was forced to divert to Augsburg Airport, which is located about 50 minutes away. They ultimately took off at 17:50 and 17:53 for Schönhagen Airport in Trebbin, located roughly one hour south of Berlin. The flight landed in the capital an hour later.
Accommodation and Preparation
Upon arrival in Berlin, Bayern Munich checked into the luxurious Ritz-Carlton Hotel situated at Potsdamer Platz. The team plans to stay there until Thursday morning as they prepare for the crucial match against Union Berlin.
As Bayern Munich faces challenges in their travel plans, they remain hopeful that their performance on the field will proceed smoothly. Fans are eager to see how the team adapts to this unusual travel experience.
