Muscat: Oman Air has signed a sponsorship agreement with Chelsea Football Club, according to which Oman Air will be granted the status of global airline partner of the club, said Oman News Agency (ONA) on Thursday, July 6, 2023.
Oman Air said in announcement: “ We’re official global airline partner for Chelsea Football Club! Together, we’re not only celebrating our shared love for football but showcasing the beauty, culture and hospitality of Oman to Chelsea’s worldwide fanbase.”
“The pride of London meets the Pride of Oman,” Oman air added.
According to the official website, the club said as follows:

Flying to more than 50 destinations worldwide, including daily flights from Muscat to London, Oman Air has a global footprint which aligns with Chelsea’s far-reaching fanbase, and offers award-winning customer experiences.
As part of the launch, and to celebrate its 30th anniversary this year, Oman Air and Chelsea have worked together to design a premium co-branded plane livery, which will feature as part of Oman Air’s fleet later this year.
This is Oman Air’s first-ever Premier League club partnership, making its branding visible at Stamford Bridge and across the club’s digital platforms, alongside exclusive experiences and events.
