Euro Jet Goes for the Gold Standard in Sochi

Now that the Olympics and Para Olympics are over and our “Team Sochi” Euro Jet team members are back home in their respective countries, it is time for some of them to reflect on their experience and to send a huge thank you to them from all of us at Euro Jet.

Euro Jet sent a team of people down to Sochi that included Maria Bodnarova, Marina Abdushkureva, Tomas Chobot, Matej Gunda, Olga Federchenko, Andrey Lim, Ulrika Raik, and Alexandr Kormanicky.Between all of them we had over 120 years of aviation experience that spans a dozen countries where they have worked and a total of 10 languages spoken amongst them.

Euro Jet coordinated 65 flights that came into Sochi for the Olympics and included the United States Media, Hockey Teams, Athletes from around the world, dignitaries, global corporate heads, and high net worth individuals.

It was a complete mix of many different types of customers and we were ready to handle it each step of the way.

Some of the work included coordinating all arrivals and departures at Sochi airport, assisting with off site check-ins, and loading up hundreds (if not thousands of bags) on to the luggage trucks at the passenger hotels.

I asked the “Euro Jet Sochi” team members that were there to give their opinion on how everything went. Here are some excepts of what they had to say:

Maria Bodnarova: As I am a truly and deeply dedicated aviation person, I really enjoyed the whole Olympics experience. I would never have thought that after so many years of working in Aviation that I can still have such an interesting and memorable experience….even though it was not really easy most of the time! I look forward to a similar project where I can once again assist.

Marina Abdushkureva: I would rephrase the slogan of the Olympics instead of “HOT. COOL. YOURS” to say “VERY HOT. VERY COOL. VERY EURO JET!”

I am really glad I had such a huge opportunity to be at the very heart of the historical event and to support Euro Jet’s customer operation there. I would be happy to take this chance again!

Olga Federchenko: When I think of Sochi, I think: Unity, professionalism, the ability to find a way out of difficult situations, and a strong support team. The opportunity to take part in this historical moment left an indelible impression on the superiority of work in the field of aviation. The Experience of communicating with people from different parts of the world, the indescribable beauty of nature: the mountains and the sea, snow and heat of the sun, all this will be remembered for a long time.

Ulrika Raik: This is an unforgettable experience! This was a huge opportunity and I enjoyed every minute of it. It was a huge challenge and I LIKE IT! I had the best co-workers with me in Sochi……We had a perfect cooperation. YOU ARE THE BEST!! I will do it again if possible, wherever, whenever. I am very grateful for this opportunity.

Andrey Lim: Sochi was an unforgettable experience that will be hard to replace. Thank you for the opportunity."

Tomas Chobot: “Bags, lots of bags!”

Alexandr Kormanicky: A wonderful experience. Thank you for allowing me to participate in this great event.

Matej Gunda: “Has anyone mentioned all the bags?”

Once again thank you to all for your great work and your memorable quotes!
