LONDON (Reuters) - Azerbaijan Grand Prix promoters are considering laying on charter flights for next year's Formula One race after soccer fans struggled to reach Baku for Wednesday's Europa League final between Chelsea and Arsenal.

The lack of direct flights to Azerbaijan from Britain, where most of the 10 Formula One teams are based, and the cost of the 8,000 km round trip to Baku have been highlighted in recent weeks.

"That's something we are really looking into, just to make it easy for all the spectators. It's not something that we've done in the past but something I really want to do in the future." The numbers are small compared to the Europa League final, with Arsenal and Chelsea each allocated what was seen as a meagre 6,000 tickets in a stadium that seats 68,700.

The promoter said the number of people travelling to Baku from London and back for the race, including the teams and everyone with Formula One, was around 3,000.
