AirTran Announces Partnership With Atlanta Falcons

Not to be outdone by American Airlines' announcement last week of a partnership with the New England Patriots, AirTran Airways announced today a multi-year partnership with the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons. (Do we see the start of a Super Bowl ad?)

The AirTran partnership includes joint promotions, advertising and signage at the Georgia Dome, and going one step further in the art department, a specially designed, Falcons-themed Boeing 717.

“We are extremely excited to partner with the Falcons,” said Tad Hutcheson, AirTran Airways’ vice president of marketing and sales. “Just like Matt Ryan and the rest of the team, AirTran Airways is committed to putting the best product on the field, or in our case, in the sky each and every day.”

AirTran operates 60 percent of its flights from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.  The Falcons join the Baltimore Ravens and Indianapolis Colts as official NFL partners of AirTran Airways.
