Abstract

Airline sponsorship of sports has exploded over the last decade mainly driven by the super-connector airlines of the Middle East such as Emirates and Ethiad.

Sponsorship strategies and motivations vary considerably between airlines and are discussed using a case study approach. This research sheds light on an understudied marketing approach to global branding with implications for managers seeking develop best practices in sports sponsorship.
