Our club and the biggest Russian airline signed partnership agreement. Starting from the first game of the season Aeroflot logo will be seen on the Army Men uniforms and inside USH CSKA.

As the Official Carrier Aeroflot will provide qualified organization and strategic consultation services on transportation of the team and club’s representatives. At the same time our club will provide advertising services to the leading Russian aviation company and cooperate on promoting its brand in Russia and abroad.

The Army Men will take all the flights from and to Sheremetyevo International Airport, closest to the team’s home arena.

Aeroflot and CSKA are connected with long-term collaboration. The leading Russian airline has multiyear sponsorship, partnership and Official Carrier contract with CSKA Professional Football Club.

Andrey Vatutin, CSKA President:

Taking into account the amount of time our team spends in the travels, it is one of the club’s priorities to choose the reliable and comfortable carrier. It is an important step not only economically but for sports activities as well. I think that our brands’ collaboration is natural, because Aeroflot is a leader of air transportation, the owner of modern and secure fleet, company with long history and recognizable name; in its turn, CSKA is dominating the country’s league for years, it is considered to be one of the strongest European teams, it impersonates Russian basketball in the world. Besides, during Alexander Gomelsky presidency CSKA and Aeroflot already had partnership relations, so for me it was important to renew this relations, to move them to the next level. I am sure that our cooperation will be longterm and it will benefit both sides. The players and coaches of the team are looking forward to experience professionalism, comfort and hospitality onboard of Aeroflot planes.
