Chelsea’s Official New Partner is Turkeys Pegasus Airline. Pegasus Airlines and Chelsea FC on Tuesday announced a multiyear partnership that will see the Turkish low-cost carrier become the Premier League club’s official airline partner.
“This partnership will harness the strength of Chelsea FC’s global footprint and worldwide fan base to showcase Pegasus Airlines as it continues its expansion,” it noted. “Together, the two organizations will collaborate across key international markets, delivering innovative campaigns and experiences for supporters and customers around the world.”
Oliver Boden, partnership sales director at Chelsea, said “Pegasus Airlines’ progress in recent years speaks for itself, their vision to transform the aviation industry and unlock the possibility of travel to so many is inspiring. The expansion of their fleet underlines the scale of their aspirations. We are proud to partner with Pegasus at this exciting time, to support them in the next stage of their journey and build a unique partnership together,” Boden said.
Onur Dedeköylü, Pegasus Airlines chief commercial officer, said: “We are proud to partner with Chelsea FC, one of the most recognised and followed teams in the world of sport, with a truly global fan base that mirrors our own international reach. The United Kingdom is an important market for the carrier, with services to five destinations and further growth planned. This partnership brings together two brands driven by ambition, energy and connection, and we look forward to working with Chelsea FC to create special campaigns and meaningful experiences for supporters and travellers alike.”
With 158 international connections to 55 countries, Pegasus Airlines was founded in 1990. According to its website, it also offers flights to 38 locations within Turkey. Operating out of its main hub at Istanbul’s Sabiha Gökçen Airport on the Asian side of the city, Pegasus has a fleet of 127 aircraft.
It declared in late 2024 that it has placed an order with Boeing for 200 new aircraft. In an effort to bolster its position in Europe and grow internationally, Pegasus said earlier this month that it would pay 154 million euros ($180 million) to acquire Smartwings, the largest airline in the Czech Republic, along with its owner, Czech Airlines (CSA).
