Ready to go - Champions League Group Stage MD1

17 September 2019


Group E


FC Salzburg vs. KRC Genk


Missing out on the Champions League for ten years, Salzburg has finally made it to the main event as a result of Austria's improving country coefficient. They will play against Genk first up, an opponent that should not be underestimated, because after all, Belgium's national team is the number 1 in the world. There will be two flights for the team and the staff traveling to Salzburg, with Jet Netherlands and TUI Belgium:

JNL927 MST xxxx-1230 SZG E145 (16/09/19)
TB9200 MST xxxx-1240 SZG B738 (16/09/19)

JNL927 SZG 1200-xxxx MST E145 (18/09/19)
TB9300 SZG 1245-xxxx MST B738 (18/09/19)


SSC Napoli vs. Liverpool FC


Last season's winners Liverpool start their title defence in Italy, away at the refurbished San Paolo. There is only a hint yet of what they will fly with, which should be one of the spectacularly painted KlasJet Boeing 737-500s.

Group F


Borussia Dortmund vs. FC Barcelona


Two heavyweights of European football clash in Dortmund, where the Borussia takes on the mighty FC Barcelona. As usual, Barcelona will travel with Air Europa, while their supporters will have to make do with a Vueling flight. The late night departure is still not possible from DTM, so these flights will depart from Cologne instead.
