With the 2026 Fifa World Cup in full swing across North America there has been a noticeable increase in special flights at host cities. Vancouver has seen quite a few aircraft carrying fans, teams and vips to the games. Here is AirX departing with the Australian team as well as Qatar Amiri Flight with the Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani arriving to watch the Qatar vs Canada match in which Canada won 6-0.
This is actually my second time catching his 747 BBJ, first time was back in 2024 when he made an official visit to Ottawa: https://youtu.be/VyQ4GZQCtG8
