Delta Air Lines Signs New Deal with Chelsea FC  

Delta Air Lines has finalized a new agreement with Chelsea FC to be the official airline sponsor of the club for the next three years.

The Atlanta-based airline and the English Premier League champions first teamed up in 2012 and have worked ever since to bring Delta's passengers closer to the football club.

Players from Chelsea have joined Delta employees and customers at numerous events worldwide to present Delta's products and services.

Perry Cantarutti, Delta senior vice president Europe, Middle East and Africa, said: "Chelsea Football Club and Delta are both winners and since the agreement started three years ago, both brands have improved and established their dominance."

"We look forward to three more successful years and to working closely with the club in promoting their activities on U.S. soil."

Christian Purslow, Chelsea FC's managing director, added: "We are thrilled to be entering into a new stage of our partnership with Delta Air Lines, the world's biggest airline.

"Rated by Fortune magazine as one of the most admired companies in the world, Delta Air Lines has the brand, reach and reputation which correspond seamlessly with our strategy of partnering with a group of world-class companies.

Purslow went on to say he expects Delta to continue supporting Chelsea's presence all over the world and especially in America where the carrier thrives.

The deal gives Delta LED exposure at Chelsea's home games and on the club's website.

The Delta logo will also appear on media backboards where interviews will be conducted at Stamford Bridge.
