From the planning stage onwards, producers are very persuasive.
With this in mind who actually charted the flight, the Football team or the TV Network?
Was the pilot given ample warning that TV crew and production staff were to be onboard?
Were the (reported but not confirmed) technical crew carrying large amounts of camera gear?
Enough to cover the match or just a few interview cameras?
Were interviews conducted on the flight deck during the flight?
Did the (possible) prescence of a camera (GoPro or manned) on the flight deck deter the pilot from declaring a fuel emergency?

- The Football Team
- This air company was used of transporting south american football team. The pilot itself as the owner, knew who they were transporting, of course. And the crew too. The airplane is painted with Chapecoense badge and some colors
- No cameras gear, only small I presume. The cameras used in the match are from the Colombian TV that covers the game in medellin. This is common in soccer games. Each stadium has it own cameras from a local network.
- During the flight no idea. But before the flight, yes.
- I woulnt assume that. Problems happen. But in this case it was intentional, so the pilot covered it due to penalties , with or without cameras.
