The package will cost £21000 (USh52.5m) for over 20 athletes and officials. It’s the first time in the committee’s history that they are getting an official airline in a move that will solve a lot of transport troubles for the team according to UOC acting president William Blick.

“We are honored and proud to be using the world’s number one airline on our way to London for the historic Games,” said Blick.
