Malaysia Airlines Official Carrier For Chelsea's Asia Tour

 

PETALING JAYA, July 25 (Bernama) -- Malaysia Airlines (MAS) is the official carrier for the prominent English Premier League side, Chelsea, for its pre-season Asia tour.

 

This follows the signing of an agreement today, between the airline and ProEvents which is the exclusive promoter of the tour.

 

MAS executive director and chief financial officer Datuk Azmil Zahruddin said Chelsea's newly-appointed manager Luiz Felipe Scolari, along with his star-studded side, will be given customised service and tailored to their specific needs.

 

"Food and beverages prepared and served on board, is in consultation with the team's nutritionists.

 

"For in-flight comfort, selected cabin crew are trained to ensure the players are assured of their privacy and well-rested upon arrival at their destinations," he told reporters after witnessing the signing of the agreement.

 

MAS is represented by its Hajj & Charter Services Department assistant general manager Captain Nik Ahmad Huzlan Nik Hussain and ProEvents, by its managing director San Boon Wah.

 

ProEvents is a leading Asian football marketing and management consultancy.

 

Also present was Football Association of Malaysia general secretary Datuk Azzuddin Ahmad.

 

MAS will fly "The Blues" from London to three Asian cities with Guangzhou on July 23 (playing against Guangzhou Pharmaceutical), Macau on July 26 (against Chengdu Blades) and the final leg in Kuala Lumpur against Malaysian Selection.

 

Chelsea will again depart on Malaysia Airlines to Moscow for the Railways Cup against Lokomotiv Moscow on Aug 1.

 

The Chelsea side is led by Scolari, and includes several star-studded players Michael Ballack, Frank Lampard, Michael Essien, John Obi Mikel, Nicolas Anelka and Salomon Kalouiri. They will arrive in Kuala Lumpur on Sunday.

 

"The Blues" will play Malaysian Selection coached by B. Sathianathan at Shah Alam Stadium on Tuesday at 8.45pm.

 

Tickets priced at RM33, RM53, RM83, RM103 and RM303 are currently sold at Ticketpro outlets and selected Adidas stores nationwide. For more information, call 03-78807999 or visit www.ticketpro.com.my.

Emm MAS did not specifies what fleet their will be using for the tour..either B777 or B747..Maybe B747 as previously MAS done the charter flight for Manchester United also Real Madrid team..

 

I saw the logo of MAS on the Chelsea Tour to Malaysia around 2 weeks ago but i cant find any big size of the banner to upload to this forum..

 

This trip Chelsea will not bring along thier striker Drogba as what i read this week news report.

 

Welcome The Blues..

any special sticker on the plane fuselage Capt ??

 

The plane meant for the Chelsea flight this evening is delayed out of AMS just now so the replacement aircraft will only sport a Chelsea Logo behind door 1 and wil be landing KLIA around 1800hrs Sunday 27th July 2008.

 

The B777 for Moscow will have a full Asia Tour livery but dep is at 0100 July 30th.

 

Thanks for the well wishes. I'm just an instrument of the Charter Staff and Cabin Crew. THEY deserve the accolades, not me.
