On Tuesday, July 27 the Calgary Airport Authority celebrated the launch of its seasonal non-stop service between Seoul/Incheon and Calgary International Airport (YYC) to meet the demand for summer visitors. The event included a ribbon-cutting ceremony, and Calgary Mayor Dave Bronconnier was in attendance to “White Hat” Mr. John Jackson, Marketing Manager for Korean Air.  Brookline Public Relations Inc. (Brookline) was hired to secure media attention surrounding the announcement, and was successful in securing media interviews leading up to the event, as well as coordinating several interviews on site.

Saturday, March 27th marked the inaugural flight of Air Canada’s new non-stop service between Calgary and Tokyo.  Members of the Brookline team were on-site and behind the scenes managing the event logistics and media relations.  The event ran smoothly and included an inspiring performance by a Japanese drumming group (to see footage from the drumming group, please visit our Facebook fan page); a traditional Japanese ritual to signify good luck and celebrate this accomplishment; as well as Japanese treats and green tea. Brookline is pleased to say that we are now well-educated in a variety of Japanese traditions – konnichiwa!
