Pegasus announced as official airline partner of Chelsea FC

24 Aralık 2025

Chelsea Football Club and Pegasus Airlines announce a new global, multi-year partnership that sees Pegasus become the club’s Official Airline Partner.

Extending across both men’s and women’s teams, the partnership brings together two dynamic organisations with a shared commitment to innovation, global growth and connecting people – whether through football or travel.

Launching as a scheduled carrier in 2005, Pegasus Airlines has spent more than two decades making air travel accessible to millions through its cost-effective and digital-first business model. Today, serving 158 destinations in 55 countries, it is also among the world’s most profitable airlines, operating one of the youngest, most fuel-efficient fleets globally. Pegasus Airlines’ significant order of 200 new aircraft, together with its recent agreement to acquire Czech Airlines and its subsidiary Smartwings, marks a new chapter in Pegasus Airlines’ international growth strategy.

This partnership will harness the strength of Chelsea FC’s global footprint and worldwide fanbase to showcase Pegasus Airlines as it continues its expansion. Together, the two organisations will collaborate across key international markets, delivering innovative campaigns and experiences for supporters and customers around the world.

Pegasus Airlines Chief Commercial Officer, Onur Dedeköylü, said: “We are proud to partner with Chelsea FC, one of the most recognised and followed teams in the world of sport, with a truly global fanbase that mirrors our own international reach. The United Kingdom is also an important market for us, with services to five destinations and further growth planned. This partnership brings together two brands driven by ambition, energy and connection, and we look forward to working with Chelsea FC to create special campaigns and meaningful experiences for supporters and travellers alike.”

Speaking on the partnership, Oliver Boden, Partnership Sales Director for Chelsea Football Club, added: “Pegasus Airlines’ progress in recent years speaks for itself, their vision to transform the aviation industry and unlock the possibility of travel to so many is inspiring. The expansion of their fleet underlines the scale of their aspirations. We are proud to partner with Pegasus at this exciting time, to support them in the next stage of their journey and build a unique partnership together.”

About Chelsea Football Club

Chelsea Football Club is one of the top football clubs globally and our men’s team are reigning world champions, having won the four-yearly FIFA Club World Cup in 2025.

We had previously won the 2021 edition of the competition, held in 2022 due to the pandemic and that success followed winning the UEFA Champions League for a second time. Our women’s team, Chelsea Women, are also multiple trophy winners.

Founded in 1905, Chelsea is London’s most central football club, based at the iconic 40,000-capacity Stamford Bridge stadium. Nicknamed the Blues, the club lifted the Champions League for the first time in 2012 and domestically has won the Premier League five times, the FA Cup eight times, the Football League Cup five times and the Football League Championship once, in 1955.

The 2021 Champions League and UEFA Super Cup triumphs ensured Chelsea became the first club to win four major UEFA club competitions twice, following our earlier successes in those two competitions as well as the Europa League and Cup Winners’ Cup. Having added the UEFA Conference League in 2025, the Blues are the only club to have won all the current UEFA club competitions.

The Chelsea Women’s team have enjoyed a huge amount of success and in 2025 won the FA Women’s Super League for a sixth consecutive year and the eighth time overall. The Women’s FA Cup has been won on six occasions. We have also captured the FA Women’s League Cup three times as well as reaching the UEFA Women’s Champions League final in 2021. In two seasons, 2020/21 and 2024/25, a domestic treble of trophies was secured.

In addition to possessing some of the world’s most recognisable players, Chelsea has also invested in our future with a state-of-the-art Academy and training centre in Cobham, Surrey. Since the Academy building’s opening in 2008, the club has won seven FA Youth Cups, back-to-back UEFA Youth League titles in 2015 and 2016, and the U23 and U18 Premier League national championships most recently in 2019/20 and 2017/18 respectively.

The Chelsea Foundation boasts one of the most extensive community initiatives in sport, helping to improve the lives of children and young people all over the world.
