Turkish Airlines Director for Thailand & Cambodia, Adnan Aykac said that Turkish Airlines, this year, has taken the decision to sponsor major sporting events including both the Barcelona and Manchester United Football teams as well as the Euroleague basketball competition. Supporting events such as these will certainly assist Turkish Airlines on its way to becoming a global brand.
"We are also on the way to becoming a key airline player in Thailand and this tennis event will bring us even closer to both the Thai and expatriates living in Thailand. Turkish Airlines is one of the fastest growing airlines carriers in the world today," Aykac added.
In addition to sponsoring the event, Turkish Airlines is also offering a total of 14 airline tickets to Europe for lucky winners who join the PTT Thailand Open this year. At the Turkish Airlines booth, simply by filling in a boarding pass visitors will get the chance to win three sets of two tickets each to one of the 67 destinations that Turkish airlines flies to in Europe. In addition at both the semi-final and final matches there will be Lucky Seat draws giving two sets of two tickets each to Europe. The draw will be held courtside to announce the winners who will be sitting on the Lucky Seats pulled from the barrel.
PTT Thailand Open is scheduled for Sept 25-Oct 3 at IMPACT Arena - Muang Thong Thani. In its eighth year, the tournament as part of the ATP Tour promises to be bigger and better than ever. The nine-day event will feature Rafael Nadal, Juan Martin Del Potro, Fernando Gonzalez and Ernests Gulbis.
