DURHAM TEES VALLEY AIRPORT
KICKS OFF NEW BORO PARTNERSHIP
Middlesbrough
Football Club and Durham Tees Valley Airport have today
announced a new partnership which will see them working together
to promote to fans and their families the airport’s connections
to destinations across the world.
The deal will see the airport benefit from a prime advertising presence at the Boro’s Riverside ground, promoting its worldwide connections to both fans in the ground and television viewers across the globe.
The club and
airport will also work together on developing initiatives
underlining the benefits for both the club and the local
community, including flight giveaway competitions on selected
match days and special offers to Boro fans from our airline
partners including KLM.
Says Durham Tees
Valley Airport Manager Shaun Woods “We are delighted to announce
this partnership which will cement our already close
relationship with the Boro. We already work very closely with
them on team travel to their away Premiership fixtures,
supporting other teams arriving for games at the Riverside, and
player personal travel.
“The support
from the club in this new partnership will help to promote the
message that Durham Tees Valley really is at the heart of the
local community and that, through the flagship KLM service to
Amsterdam Schiphol, whether for business or pleasure, you can
fly to over 200 destinations worldwide.”
Head of
Partnerships at Middlesbrough Football Club Lee Fryett adds “We
already have close links with Durham Tees Valley as the team
regularly use it for our away travel and this new partnership
will help us to greatly develop the relationship with the
airport. We are certainly committed to playing our part in
helping to promote its future development.
“Football is an
international business which is the same for so many of our
local companies who increasingly have to compete in the global
marketplace and for whom access to a worldwide network from
their local airport is so important.”
