Sponsorships with Support from Air Greenland

Most of Air Greenland's sponsorships are distributed through sponsor agreements with various institutions and generally we refer to these agreements. The three major sponsor agreements are with GIF - The Sports Confederation of Greenland, Katuaq - Greenland's Culture Centre (cultural sponsorships) and Greenland Tourism (press trips).

GIF - The Sports Confederation of Greenland

Every year, Air Greenland supports athletics with substantial discounts and we are therefore one of the companies that gives most support to sport in Greenland. All support for sports goes through our sponsor agreement with GIF. Only members of GIF can apply. Applications should be addressed to:

GIF, P.O. Box 84, DK-3900 Nuuk, Greenland - Fax: (+299) 32 54 65 - Phone: (+299) 34 81 50 

Cultural Sponsorships through Katuaq

Katuaq has a pool of tickets used to bring artists and cultural figures to Greenland. These tickets are used for performances in Katuaq. Katuaq can use these tickets at its own discretion.

Press Trips through Greenland Tourism

Both Air Greenland and Greenland Tourism receive hundreds of enquiries each year regarding press trips. The trips are for representatives of the press who come to Greenland to write about Greenland in connection with tourism - and who can document prior to departure, that their work will be used. Applications should be addressed to:

Greenland Tourism, P.O. Box 1010, DK-1401 Copenhagen K - Phone: +45 32 83 38 80 - Fax: +45 32 83 38 89

Aid for Greenland's Children in Need

Air Greenland supports the work carried out by Save the Children and the Association for the Protection of Greenland's Children in a number of towns in Greenland where these organisations run drop-in centres for children and adolescents. Our support is provided in the form of free tickets on our route network, cash donations and special support activities.

Applications for other Air Greenland Sponsorships

Air Greenland receives many applications each year for sponsorships of various types. Some of these are very good, but unfortunately we cannot support them all. In the future, Air Greenland will typically sponsor with reduced tickets for various arrangements.

Apart from the above mentioned sponsorships, Air Greenland also has a pool of 60 sponsor tickets, which are granted at four sponsor committee meetings held during the year. These are given to interesting or unusual projects, which Air Greenland finds exciting enough to use in its own marketing. There are four yearly deadlines for receipt of applications. The applications received will be evaluated and applicants will receive notification of the committee's decision a few days after the sponsor committee meeting. Sponsorships cannot be back-dated, so applications should be sent in as early as possible.

Please note that sponsored tickets are not available during the following periods:

• 1 week before Christmas to 1 week after New Year
• 1 week before Easter to 1 week after Easter
• June 15th to August 31th

Applications must include the following:

1. Project description
2. Budget - with predicted income and expenditure
3. Description of who the trip is for and when
4. Description of how Air Greenland can use the sponsorship actively in its marketing policy

General Guidelines

There are some rules that apply, if you receive support from Air Greenland. Here are some of them:

General requirements

• You must keep us up-dated on the project through personal or written information regarding press coverage.
• The person receiving support may only speak on his/her own behalf and not on behalf of Air Greenland.
• Sponsor tickets are issued on condition that seats are available.

Ethical guidelines

The following guidelines are set to ensure that Air Greenland is not associated with behaviour or statements that are incompatible with the company's principles or reputation.
It is expected that every person, group or project receiving sponsor support from Air Greenland lives up to these guidelines. Serious infringements of the conditions in question could result in the withdrawal of an existing sponsorship.

The ticket you have received makes you an ambassador for Air Greenland. Your surroundings will notice your behaviour and it is therefore important that

• You behave in a generally accepted manner and do not call attention to yourself on board the aircraft or at the airport.
• You are polite to the other passengers.
• You are a worthy representative both for your sponsor and your project/sport/arrangement.
• You consume alcohol only in modest quantities.

We expect you to do what you can to give the other travellers a positive impression of Air Greenland - You, we and our other passengers deserve it.
