Delta Air Lines has become the official airline sponsor for Chelsea Football Club.

The US airline is already the official airline sponsor of leading US sports teams including baseball’s New York Yankees, hockey’s Los Angeles Kings and American football’s Minnesota Vikings.

"We’re delighted to sponsor Chelsea FC, a top-flight London club with a fan base of millions throughout Delta’s worldwide network," said Perry Cantarutti, Delta’s senior vice-president for Europe, the Middle East and Africa. "Partnering with a leading club in the English Premier League is an exciting way to strengthen our brand both in the UK and around the world while a tie-in with Delta will help build Chelsea’s brand in the US."
