The Greek Paralympic delegation departed to Paris early this morning on a special AEGEAN flight with the message “Go Greece” on the livery of a dedicated AEGEAN aircraft. The athletes representing Greece at the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris surrounded by their families and friends, as well as members of the Hellenic Paralympic Committee, gathered at the airport to start their journey with the aim of participating in the top sports event and winning awards.
AEGEAN’s management and cabin crew welcomed the members of the Greek Paralympic delegation and wished them a great success. Swimming, athletics, tae kwon do, shooting, archery, horseback riding, cycling, bench-lifting, judo and boxing are the sports that Greek athletes will participate and fight for an award.
AEGEAN is the Official Air Carrier of the Greek delegation of this year’s Paralympic Games, whereas during previous weeks it also carried the members of the Greek delegation to the Olympic Games to and from Paris.
For more than 25 years, AEGEAN has been actively supporting Greek sports and is travelling the National Teams and athletes that honor Greece by winning significant distinctions in leading sports events around the world.
The Deputy CEO of AEGEAN Mr. Michalis Kouveliotis addressing to the Greek delegation stated: “All of us at AEGEAN, the management and the crew, are very happy and proud to welcome you on board and take you to Paris. You’ve worked so hard to get where you are, and you are an example for us, for your hard work, dedication and passion. You have the wishes of Greece, as well as AEGEAN family. We wish you to return full of experiences and successes. Go Greece”.
Mr. George Kapellakis, President of the Hellenic Paralympic Committee and Paralympic Gold Medalist, said: “One of the most important parts of our participation in the Paralympics is the transfer of the delegation to the city of the Games. AEGEAN is by our side and has ensured our safe and comfortable transfer to Paris where our athletes will compete representing our country. I’d like to thank AEGEAN for flying us to Paris and for ensuring our safe return to Greece”.
