Delta Becomes Official Airline of Washington Nationals Baseball Team

Delta has signed a five-year sponsorship agreement to be the Official Airline and Official Private Jet Carrier of the Washington Nationals.

Under Delta's new agreement with the Nationals, the airline will fly the team to and from every away game.

Delta's signature presence at the park will also include sponsorship of the Delta Sky360 Club, a branded hospitality experience within Nationals Park and premium section of branded seating behind home plate; and permanent signage on the outfield wall, as well as home-plate, baseline rotational, out-of-town scoreboard and LED signage.

"The Washington Nationals are thrilled to welcome Delta to our family of partners as our official airline," said Valerie Camillo, Chief  Revenue and Marketing Officer of the Washington Nationals. "As we partner together to transform the former President's Club into the Delta Sky360 Club, we are confident Delta will help enhance what is already the premier luxury sports experience in Washington, D.C."

With the addition of the Washington Nationals, Delta now sponsors nearly half of Major League Baseball's 30 teams, more than any other airline.

Delta recently renewed its long-term partnerships with the New York Mets and the New York Yankees, extending the airline's sponsorships with both teams through 2023.

Delta also serves as the official airline of the Atlanta Braves, Detroit Tigers, and Minnesota Twins; the airline also operates team charters for the Braves, Twins, Yankees and Mets, as well as for the Baltimore Orioles, Boston Red Sox, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Philadelphia Phillies and Tampa Bay Rays.

"As a proud supporter of America's pastime, Delta is excited to welcome the Washington Nationals to the roster of MLB teams we sponsor across the country," said Tim Mapes, Delta's Senior Vice President – Marketing. "We can't wait to connect with the passionate fans at Nationals Park, and we share in their enthusiasm for a great season ahead."
