As the excitement for the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) grows, Etihad Airways, the official sponsor of Chennai Super Kings, has taken fan engagement to new heights with a thrilling gesture. The airline recently unveiled a specially designed CSK Airbus, sharing a video of the custom-branded aircraft on social media. This launch marks a significant milestone in the three-year partnership between Etihad Airways and Chennai Super Kings, which was signed earlier this year.
With a lively CSK song playing in the background, the video shows the airport Airbus A320 neo by Etihad Airways in the signature yellow and blue shades with the Chennai Super Kings crest attached to various parts of its body. Additionally, a CSK flag can also be seen flying atop a bus.
From zooming in to show the detailed features to a stunning aerial view, the video has garnered a lot of attention on social media, drawing praise from die-hard CSK fans. “Yellove takes flight. Introducing our newly @chennaiipl themed livery,” the post’s caption read.
Reacting to the video, a fan wrote, “This is the thing I love the most thank you CSK and Etihad Airways,” while another added, “This came unexpected, but absolutely loving it.”
“The coolest sponsorship deal we’ve done!” a comment read. Fans even expressed their wish to see the flight in real life and even enjoy a ride on it. “Eagerly waiting to go in this flight and see it real in Chennai airport while takeoff and landing,” one of them wrote.
Earlier this year, Etihad Airways signed a three-year deal with Chennai Super Kings to become the team’s principal sponsor. The partnership will not only cover CSK’s events and platforms but will also display its logo on the players’ jerseys, the carrier said back then. “For Etihad, we believe in connecting with our travellers through shared interests, and like the ‘Yellow Army’ we really believe in this team. As we embark on this thrilling journey, we anticipate not only creating unforgettable moments for fans and travellers but also forging a powerful connection that transcends boundaries and elevates the spirit of the game to new heights,” said Arik De, Chief Revenue and Commercial Officer at Etihad Airways.
