Al Ain Mineral Water Company to sponsor Garden City event for 2nd Year
Al Ain Mineral Water Company (P.J.S.C.) - the fully owned and operated entity of Abu Dhabi-based AGTHIA Group P.J.S.C – is the proud sponsor of the Al Ain Aerobatic Show, that has been a success under the patronage of H.H Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nayhan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of UAE Armed Forces. As part of its pursuit of spreading the message to reduce, reuse and recycle, the company will install a bottle shrinking device at the Al Ain Aerobatic Show that reduces the size of the PET bottle by 80-90 per cent.
Under the program, all spectators will be given a complementary Al Ain water bottle upon entry to the show, which if later taken to the company’s ‘Shrink-a-Bottle’ booth for recycling, will be exchanged for another bottle of water.
As a Gold Sponsor of the 2009 Al Ain Aerobatic Show (to be held from January 28-31, 2009) for the second consecutive year, Al Ain Mineral Water - an acknowledged water manufacturing and water expert in the UAE - launched the initiative as part of Al Ain’s ongoing campaign to educate the general public in the need to recycle PET bottles in the UAE, and particularly reduce the huge quantity of PET waste emerging out of such a large scale event as the Al Ain Aerobatic Show, which runs from January 28-31, 2009.
And with more than 130,000 spectators from 40 countries expected at the 2009 spectacle, organizers, Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority, look to continue the legacy of success while reinforcing an environmentally friendly approach to the event by again joining hands with Al Ain Mineral Water Company.
Mr. Fasahat Beg, General Manager - Al Ain Mineral Water Company, said: “We are proud of our continued support of the Al Ain Aerobatic Show, which has been a huge annual success under the patronage of H.H Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nayhan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of UAE Armed Forces. As a leading Abu Dhabi-based company, we are delighted to be Gold Sponsors of the exciting event, but more so because of the strong environmental message we will be communicating in conjunction with the event organizers.
“It is critically important to reduce the levels of PET at venues such as these, and across the entire UAE, in general. We hope our participation and education in environmentally friendly programs like our “Shrink-a-Bottle” will provide a significant long-term benefit and reduce the amount of PET waste.”
A host of pilots and display outfits from more than 15 countries have signed up for Al Ain Aerobatic Show 2009. One of the highlights of the four days of action will be the regional debut of Aero GP Al Ain - the multi-discipline aerobatics event and the only international air racing series with multiple airplanes simultaneously competing against each other (a sport called ‘pylon racing’).
Nicknamed aviation’s ‘Formula One’, Aero GP Al Ain will see five world-class pilots battle it out in a straight air race, as well as testing their skills in aerial combat and their aim in a ‘barnstorming’ targeting competition.
