The WNBA began its charting program, with the Fever and Lynx flying private for their opening day games, but many teams remain in the dark over how their travel will be handled.
The WNBA has started to implement its regular season chartering program for the beginning of the 2024 campaign, with theBut personnel from multiple teams told ESPN they have not received word from the league on when they will be permitted to charter as the WNBA prepares to kick off its 28th season Tuesday. And teams that have started chartering are still waiting to find out if they'll charter for subsequent away games, a source said.
The league officially announced Thursday that a full charter program would be"phased in beginning with the start of the 2024 regular season," according to a release. The news first broke Tuesday when commissioner Cathy Engelbert told a group of sports editors the league was on the verge of moving to full-chartering"as soon as we can get planes in places."
"2 out of 5 WNBA teams traveling today are on WNBA charters -- and that's a win. It could be a bigger one if the W allowed teams who were not offered League charters to secure their own until a full 12 team solution is ready," Stewart "It seemed as, if they were concerned about a competitive advantage, that they would have rolled it out differently," Jackson said.
