The BWF Secretary General, Thomas Lund, is pleased with the response to the launch of AirBadminton. However, there is still a need for further efforts to educate the badminton community about the availability and design of the new outdoor shuttlecock, known as the AirShuttle.

AirBadminton was officially launched in Guangzhou last week, in collaboration with the BWF’s Global Development Partner, HSBC. Now, the BWF’s focus is on working with its Member Associations to bring AirBadminton to more people. This includes finalizing the mass production setup and distribution of the AirShuttle.

At the TOTAL BWF Sudirman Cup in Nanning, China, Lund expressed his excitement about the positive feedback and interest received from stakeholders worldwide. The concept of outdoor badminton has been well received, and there have been many expressions of interest in implementing the game and obtaining the outdoor shuttlecock.

Lund also addressed the inquiries regarding the availability of the AirShuttle. He explained that mass production is still being set up, and as previously communicated, the AirShuttle will be available to the public in the second half of 2019. Despite this, Lund acknowledged that there is still a long way to go in implementing AirBadminton and making the sport more accessible.
