Seamless logistics with ATPI Sports Travel

At ATPI Sports Travel, we understand that elite sports travel requires precision, efficiency, and expert planning. Whether managing international sports travel for top athletes or coordinating the complex details of team travel management, every moment counts.

To uncover what goes into flawless sports travel logistics, we spoke with Ghada Hamaoui, Director of Operations at ATPI Canada. She shares how her team ensures smooth, stress-free travel solutions for some of the world’s most high-profile sporting events.

Managing sports travel logistics for major international sporting events isn’t just about getting athletes from one place to another, it’s about precision, timing, and staying ahead of challenges.

ATPI Sports Travel has been at the forefront, delivering seamless elite sports travel solutions for world-class events, including Olympic Games travel, the Pan Am Games, and the Canada Games.

“For the Pan Am Games, we managed team travel management for hundreds of athletes, coaches, and officials, ensuring everything ran smoothly,” says Ghada Hamaoui, Director of Operations at ATPI Canada.

The key to success in sports travel logistics:

✔ Planning – Every travel detail is mapped out well in advance.
✔ Adaptability – Handling last-minute changes effortlessly.
✔ A Strong Global Network – Ready to step in wherever and whenever needed.

“No matter what happens, we keep athletes focused on their performance while we take care of everything else.” – Ghada

The Winning Formula

So, what does it take to ensure stress-free sports travel? According to Ghada Hamaoui, success relies on four key elements. “Booking early is crucial to securing flights before prices surge and availability becomes limited. Preparing for the unexpected is just as important—whether it’s weather delays, cancellations, or last-minute schedule changes, ATPI always has a backup plan in place. Leveraging smart technology plays a vital role, with real-time tracking that monitors bookings and keeps teams informed every step of the way. Finally, understanding the team’s unique needs ensures every detail is accounted for, from dietary requirements to oversized sports equipment.”

“Our job is simple: ensure every athlete arrives on time, stress-free, and ready to compete.”

Game Day drama

Sports travel comes with unpredictable twists. ATPI has handled everything from flight cancellations to last-minute schedule changes, always with a solution-ready approach. One of Ghada’s most memorable moments? A last-minute Olympic rescue mission.
“A top athlete’s flight was canceled just hours before their event. Panic mode? Not for us. Within minutes, we rebooked a flight, arranged a private transfer, and got them to the venue just in time. They won their event. These moments are stressful, but they make the job exciting.”
