The Carlton Football Club is pleased to announce Virgin Australia as its official Airline Partner for the next two years.
In support of Carlton’s commitment to enhancing the match-day experience, Virgin Australia will support game-day activations during selected home games throughout the season with flight and holiday package giveaways.
Virgin Australia will also offer special travel packages to Carlton members to help them support the Blues at both home and away games throughout the season.
Carlton CEO Steven Trigg said: “Virgin Australia is a leader in air travel and we are absolutely thrilled to have them as an official partner of the Carlton Football Club.
“Carlton has supporters nationwide and we want to give them the best opportunity to see our team play. This partnership will help make that experience a positive one.
“It’s the coming together of two iconic, premium brands and we look forward to growing together.”
Virgin Australia Chief Customer Officer Mark Hassell said: “As proud supporters of the AFL we are very excited to announce our partnership with the Carlton Football Club.
“Carlton is one of the oldest, most historic football clubs in the world and has enjoyed great success on and off the field. Both organisations share a similar philosophy with a strong focus on delivering great value and service to customers and members.”
The partnership with Carlton expands Virgin Australia’s strong commitment to the AFL and enhances the connection with fans through the 637,000 devoted Carlton supporters and over 45,000 members nationwide.
The agreement marks the first Victorian club partnership by Virgin Australia.
Each year Virgin Australia carries the 18 AFL teams on more than 300 flights, travelling more than 450,000km, and provides thousands of extra seats to fans.
