Expanded charter travel is a key component of the new collective bargaining agreement that Major League Soccer and the Major League Soccer Players Association tentatively approved Thursday morning.
The new CBA, which lasts through the 2024 MLS reason, requires all clubs to use charter flights for at least eight legs of travel in 2020, with the number of required legs increasing to 16 by 2024.
This is a significant change from the previous CBA, which allowed – but did not require – clubs to charter four legs per season.
The new CBA also requires clubs to charter flights for the MLS Cup playoffs and Concacaf Champions League matches that require international travel.
