Emirates Airline, the award-winning international airline, announced its sponsorship support for the Volvo Masters 2008, one of the top Asian golf tournaments. It is the second consecutive year in succession that Emirates has been a leading supporter of this event.

The Volvo Masters of Asia 2008 will be organized at the Thai Country Club, Bangkok during December 18-21.

The Volvo Masters of Asia is the season-ending Tour Championship on the Asian Tour and is restricted to the top 60 players on the Order of Merit and is therefore one of the region's premier events.

Spectators at the tournament will be given free red caps from Emirates, and if they spotted by Emirates crew in attendance, they will have a chance to win 2 Emirates Business Class tickets to Dubai.

Jeyhun Efendi, Country Manager for Thailand and Indochina, said: “As a world class airline, we are glad to once again play an important sponsorship role in the Volvo Masters of Asia. Our sponsorship of the tournament provides Emirates with an effective platform to promote our services, routes and new home at Terminal 3 in Dubai.”

“We are once again very pleased to welcome Emirates on board as one of the key sponsors of the Volvo Masters of Asia. Their sponsorship and support is an important component in making the Volvo Masters of Asia the success that it is," said Chris Jordan, Senior Vice President, World Sport Group - Golf.
