Over the last few months (or "a few years" is actually more appropriate), almost every aviation organisation ranging from industry regulator, airlines, airports and air traffic management bureaus to in-flight catering companies, aviation fuel supplier and many other entities has been putting an all-out effort to prepare for the smooth operations and better services during the Olympic Games.

Now, with the opening ceremony of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games only hours away, let's take a look at some photos - the ones proving enormous efforts have been put to make sure every passenger gets a smooth and memorable air travel experience as they visit this year's Olympic host country while the whole world shares the excitement of world's largest multi-sport event.
