Flying to Brazil with Airfasttickets
The Champion of Europe Olympiacos is opening his … wings en route to Brazil, but before the trans-Atlantic journey started, the Press Conference Room of the Peace and Friendship Stadium held the presentation event of the collaboration with Airfasttickets, that is going to be sponsoring the ‘reds’ in their effort to win the Intercontinental Cup in Sao Paolo.
The Marketing Director of Olympiacos BC Mr. Nikos Lepeniotis, the Marketing Manager of Airfasttickets in Greece Ms. Natasha Pagone, the head coach of the team Mr. Giorgos Bartzokas and the player of our team Mr. Giorgos Printezis were on the panel.
NIKOS LEPENIOTIS: “It’s the second trip outside of Europe since 2009 and the NBA trip. We consider it very important for both our brand as well as for all our fans in and out of Greece. We have gotten a lot of e-mails from fans. We are happy to be travelling outside Europe and having a chance to becoming recognizable in a not so accessible are during the season like Latin America.
We are happy that Airfasttickets is sponsoring this journey, since they are going to be our official travel partner this season and will be supporting us in all of our traveling. It’s a new collaboration that we hope will last for many years and we’ll be able to do a lot of nice things mainly for our fans and all those who want to be next to Olympiacos and travel with the team”.
NATASHA PAGONE: Airfasttickets was found in 2009 in Piraeus by Nikolaos Koklonis aiming to improve already set infrastructure, develop new means to attract new clients but also offer new and innovative suggestions in the touristic market. Our company has also offices in Frankfurt, London and New York.
On behalf of Airfasttickets, I would like to pinpoint how happy we are to be traveling Olympiacos to Brazil for the FIBA Intercontinental Cup. We have many common points of reference with Olympiacos besides this tournament. First of all, we share the same intent to win accolades outside of the Greek borders and fight the same in order to conquer them, having started ourselves the journey to the international touristic realm.
Anyway, sports offer the same kind of excitement to an amazing journey; they expand your horizons and teach you how to live in the moment with intensity. We aim to fly higher with Olympiacos, into the clouds of world basketball. We wish the team all well and may the return trip be identical to the joy of victory!!!”
GIORGOS BARTZOKAS: “I’m happy Airfasttickets is going to be with us and will be helping us with this trip during a difficult timing just before the beginning of the official competitions. This collaboration is very important, because we hope to be making a lot of trips, just like last season. To be traveling till the end and why not, even go to Milan”.
GIORGOS PRINTEZIS: “Everyone else has spoken about the company. I would like to say on behalf of my teammates that this trip is a great honor and it’s possible that many of us may not have the chance to play an intercontinental final ever again. It’s a title we haven’t won as a club and we want to conquer. We hope that the collaboration with Airfasttickets is a lucky one, that we go to Milan and come back the winners once again”.
