All 11 athletes from Guatemala safely arrived to Paris this morning after IOC EB provisionally lifted suspension of NOC (National Olympic Committee) of Guatemala.

Unfortunately, Comité Olímpico Guatemalteco was able to secure only low-cost flight tickets and our athletes arrived after rather long and uncomfortable narrow-body journey.
They departed Guatemala city right before midnight, arrived to JFK next day at 5:50am and after 12 hour layover continued on A321LR to Paris.

Thanks to the high price of the tickets, coaches, masseurs and the rest of the team will unfortunately have to use another route and it is speculated that they will try to get on board of special flight in neighboring Belize. We will keep you informed...

At the Paris 2024 Olympics, Australia’s contingent is expected to be near the 500-strong yet again. Unfortunately, Qantas B788 hosts only 236 seats, so the grounded unlucky athletes must either swim and hitchhike or wait for the Dreamliner rotation back to Perth.
I'm sure AirSource pilots would deliver rest of AU crew on-time!

3 Grenadian track and field athletes achieved the entry standards for Paris 2024!
The whole country will surely support the prodigious Grenadian sprinter Kirani James who won the 400 meters Olympic gold in a time of 43.94 in London, followed by remarkable at the Rio 2016 Olympics, where he won a silver medal in the 400 meters in a time of 43.76 and at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, where he earned a bronze medal.
How about this year? Well, you have all of my moral support, Kirani!

How thrilled are our Grenadian athletes? Not only will they enjoy their flight on Air France 773 in special Olympics livery... They have been upgraded to a first-class cabin free of charge! Thank you, Air France, so nice of you!

Nice shots Mark. Is that Air France B777 Olympics livery for the PMDG model?

Hong Kong sending 35 athletes to Paris to take part in the Olympic Games 2024. 15 men and 20 women will compete in 11 disciplines including my favorite Badminton!
AirSource pilots responded in absolutely amazing fashion and Ian Place and Marlin Yoder already delivered the entire HK gang safely to Paris. My Cathay flight was all about equipment - well, you know... Banbinton rockets are quite bulky not talking of running shoes for other athletes!

Cathay expressed a tight partnership with national Olympic team and prepared a dedicated webpage to get your cheer on

All 88 athletes from the Czech Republic have been dropped off in Paris this morning. Unfortunately, the originally scheduled A320 was unavailable due to maintenance, so our athletes jumped into repainted ATR-72 leased from ASL Airlines. Thank you, ASL for your flexibility
