American Airlines Extends Sponsorship With Carolina Panthers
July 26 2016 - 2:45PM
American Airlines is reinforcing its commitment to the Carolinas by
renewing its sponsorship as the Official Airline of the Carolina
Panthers with a long-term agreement. American, through its merger
with US Airways, has been the Official Airline of the Panthers
since 2006.
“With more than 11,000 employees based in Charlotte and more
than 44 million customers at Charlotte Douglas International
Airport (CLT) each year, American is proud to partner with one of
the most exciting teams in the NFL,” said Fernand Fernandez,
American’s vice president of global marketing. “Panthers fans are
passionate about their team and excited about what the future holds
with Coach Ron Rivera, Cam Newton and the entire Conference
Championship team. They have raised the profile of the Carolinas,
and American is raising the bar for the travel experience by
investing more than $3 billion in new products and services.”
“We appreciate the long-term support of American Airlines as the
Official Airline of the Carolina Panthers. They are an important
part of our away game travel and also an important member of our
team. We look forward to this season with American Airlines as we
both strive to new heights together,” said team President Danny
Morrison.
As the Official Airline of the Panthers, the American Airlines
logo will continue to appear at Bank of America Stadium and the
airline will be featured in in-game promotions at each Panthers
home game. The partnership also includes several community events,
including the sponsorship of the Panthers’ quarterly veterans
coffee event, which welcomes some of our military veterans for a
networking and development “coffee break” at the stadium.
American operates more than 90 percent of flights out of CLT,
with more than 650 daily flights to 145 destinations in 23
countries. American also operates two maintenance hangars, a pilot
training facility and a cargo facility in Charlotte.
The airline is investing more than $3 billion in every aspect of
the customer travel experience – whether that’s in the airports or
in the cabins of the most modern fleet in the industry. The
improvements include a refresh of Admirals Club lounges worldwide,
a new Flagship Lounge experience in six gateways, an upgraded
assortment of complimentary healthy food, adding more all-aisle
access, fully lie-flat seats, power outlets, improved food and
beverage offerings and more.
