Bidding Process to be Launched for World Air Games 2009

Air sports - 16 May 2006
   
The Fédération Aéronautique Internationale, FAI - The World Air Sports Federation, has taken a decision to modernise the World Air Games concept and plans are being made to launch a new concept and bidding process for the 2009 World Air Games.

The FAI, based in the Olympic Capital Lausanne, has just announced its plans to re-launch the bidding process for a new and improved World Air Games. In cooperation with TSE Consulting, a specialised sport consultancy, the Federation has decided to modernise the concept and work to make the event even more attractive for potential hosts.

Having previously been held in Turkey and Spain in 1997 and 2001 respectively (the 2005 Games were replaced by centennial celebrations), the World Air Games is the biggest gathering of air sports in the world. Bringing together the world champions in ten different air sport disciplines, the event showcases a week of tremendous competition, and fills the sky with excitement and thrills. From parachuting and ballooning to microlights and paragliders, the World Air Games offers a truly spectacular showcase of the best in air sports.

FAI President, Mr. Pierre Portmann, said:
“The World Air Games could be one of the biggest sporting events of the year, and it is important to the FAI that we handle all aspects of promoting and organizing the games properly. The Games are magnificent to see and a perfect way to promote our sports and we are happy to be working with TSE to ensure that we have an event that works to the benefit of our host regions”

Lars Haue-Pedersen, Director of TSE Consulting, said:
“This is an exciting project and it is positive to see a federation take the time to really think through their bidding process for the benefit of their partner host cities. With a great understanding of the needs and objectives of both the federation and the potential host cities, TSE is working to create the perfect match between the two.”

The bidding process will be launched in October 2006 and a host will be selected in May 2007.
