Erling Haaland, the prominent Norwegian striker for Manchester City, is known for his scoring abilities on the field. However, he has also gained attention for his luxurious travel preferences.

Unlike his teammates, Haaland prefers to fly using a private plane. His preferred mode of transportation is the Vistajet’s 9H-ILV Bombardier Challenger 850, which is often referred to as his “flying taxi.”

According to reports, Haaland’s frequent use of private jets sets him apart from his peers. The Daily Mail has reported that Haaland’s fondness for flying in style has led him to charter private planes more frequently than his teammates.

The 9H-ILV Bombardier Challenger 850 that Haaland often flies in is valued at a staggering $32 million and can cost around $10,000 per hour to rent from VistaJet.

The aircraft, which was manufactured in 2008, is equipped with two General Electric CF34-3B turbofan engines and boasts a top speed of 1,041 km/h. It also has an impressive range of 5,206 km.

The luxurious cabin of the aircraft can comfortably accommodate up to 14 passengers, including Haaland, with stylish and modern accommodations. Haaland’s preference for flying in a private jet is not unique, as other sports celebrities, such as Formula One driver Charles Leclerc, also favor the 9H-ILV Bombardier Challenger 850. Despite the high cost of chartering a private plane, Haaland’s love for this mode of transportation shows his sense of elegance and sophistication.
