Peter V’landys supports the NRL’s plan to purchase a private jet

·

Australian Rugby League (ARL) Commission Chairman Peter V’landys has expressed his support for the NRL’s ambitions of acquiring a private aircraft for its players.

V’landys, alongside NRL management led by CEO Andrew Abdo, approved a feasibility study for the private jet on Wednesday, September 18. The study will examine the potential benefits and logistics of adding a private aircraft to the league’s assets, facilitating smoother travel for players between games.

“It’s a very good suggestion, and it’s got enormous benefit,” V’landys told The Sydney Morning Herald. “We discussed it [on Wednesday] and we’re definitely going to do an analysis.

“You can do promotions where you can take fans to different venues, and especially if we expand to Perth, Papua New Guinea, the south island of New Zealand or wherever, it becomes a more realistic option.

“If it’s only slightly more money than what we’re paying now, it doesn’t matter because of the comfort and convenience which would be given to the players for their welfare far outweighs any additional costs.

“The cost-benefit analysis can stack up because of the revenue you make when you’re not using it.”
