West Ham signs up Eva Air as first ever Official Airline Partner

West Ham United has signed a new agreement with EVA Air as the club’s first ever Official Airline Partner.

EVA Air, the Taiwanese international airline, flies to more than 60 destinations throughout Asia, Oceania, North America and Europe where gateways include London, Paris, Amsterdam and Vienna.

The airline operates daily non-stop flights from London Heathrow to Bangkok that continue to Taipei where passengers can connect on to every major city in Asia, including close to 17 gateways in Mainland China.

The partnership will provide multiple branding opportunities for EVA Air and see the two parties work together to develop fan engagement activations.

Karren Brady, West Ham United vice-chairman, said: “I am delighted to welcome EVA Air to the West Ham United family. As the excitement of Premier League football continues to grow rapidly throughout Asia, we are extremely proud to team up with an airline that has established a magnificent reputation for its links between London and the far east.

“I am very excited about the benefits that the partnership can bring as we continue to grow and develop our corporate identity on a global scale.”

Clay Sun, EVA Air president, commented: “EVA Air is a proud supporter of sports and we are delighted to be partnering with West Ham United. For years we have actively supported and sponsored sports such as golf, tennis, badminton and baseball and this cooperation with the Premier League football club further extends this across our route network.

“The quality service EVA Air provides to passengers ensures athletes can get the best possible rest during their flights to international tournaments and achieve their best performances.”

Formed in 1989, EVA Air is part of the Evergreen Group and a sister company to global container-shipping company Evergreen Line.
