IIFA Charter a VIP Private Jet
By Air Charter International, PRNETuesday, June 15, 2010
DUBAI, UAE, June 16, 2010 - Air Charter International, an aviation solutions provider based in the
Middle East and primarily servicing Asia, Arabia, Australasia and Africa has
delivered a service to the stars for this year's IIFA event.
The International Indian Film Academy's Weekend and Awards are a
celebration of Indian Cinema. Previously held in countries including Vietnam,
Thailand, Holland, Singapore, South Africa and the United Kingdom, this
year's 2010 IIFA event was held in India's neighboring country Sri Lanka. A
showcase of Bollywood stars, upcoming talent and an opportunity for the
public to mingle with the celebrities.
With this influx of A-list Indian and international celebrities over the
weekend of the event, scheduled airlines, tourism authorities and travel
agents found themselves short of sufficient business and first class seats
for all these guests. Consequently they approached Air Charter International
to source and tailor a solution to ensure they travel in the style and
comfort they have become accustomed to.
An MD83 VIP aircraft configured with sixty business class seats was
sourced and positioned from Europe to perform a series of charters for the
two hundred and forty guests between Bombay and Colombo before and after the
event. Despite some initial controversy over the location of the event the
IIFA ensured this was overshadowed by musical spectacle, elaborate dance,
designer dresses and plethora of prestigious awards.
Air Charter International's Commercial Sales Manager Mrs. Claire
Brugirard states: "we were pleased and honored to provide assistance for this
spectacular event. Our team did a great job in sourcing a suitable aircraft
for the charter and supporting the event from A to Z. We also would like to
thank our partners for their fantastic performance and support and look
forward to next year's event"
IIFA 2011 is to be held in Canada. Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan
conveyed this massage over pre-recored video. "IIFA has moved forward and has
over the time brought people from different cultures and races together on a
global stage. It bridges countries, nations, businesses, communities and
cinemas and this is our wish too for IIFA, Toronto 2011. As the IIFA brand
ambassador, I pledge my complete support to the IIFA celebration and do look
for a greener IIFA 2011."
