The multi-award winning carrier has committed to the Swans for the next three years, until at least the end of the 2019 season.

The partnership was announced at the SCG on Wednesday, marking the airline’s first foray into the AFL.

The agreement will see Qatar Airways receive prominent branding at Sydney Swans home games and training, while supporters can look forward to an enhanced match-day experience with special offers and giveaways throughout the season.

Sydney Swans chairman Andrew Pridham said:

“Qatar Airways is a global brand and leader in international air travel, so we’re delighted to have them join the Sydney Swans as our official international airline partner,” he said.

“Both organisations share a common goal in that we are passionate about delivering premium experiences and strive for excellence in everything we do.

“This is a significant partnership for our football club and, as the airline’s own brand message suggests, we’re excited to be Going Places Together.

“We look forward to welcoming Qatar Airways to our Sydney Swans family and working with them in the years to come.”
