The WNBA and Delta Airlines have announced a multi-year partnership, making Delta the league’s official airline partner.
Delta will use travel-related storytelling across WNBA media, including broadcast, digital, print and social media. Earlier this season, Delta expanded its relationship with the WNBA charter program when the league launched a full charter program as it now carries all 12 of the league’s teams during the regular season and playoffs.
“We are proud of our partnership with the WNBA, where every game is a testament to our shared values of teamwork and perseverance,” said Delta’s Chief Executive Officer Ed Bastian“We look forward to supporting these incredible athletes on their journey and furthering Delta’s support of women’s sports.”
Delta has flown 75 championship teams in many sports leagues since 2000, including the 2023 WNBA champions, the Las Vegas Aces. All eight playoff teams flew Delta in the 2023 WNBA postseason.
“Delta Air Lines shares the league’s commitment to excellence and innovation and is a committed partner in the work to promote and strengthen women’s sports,” said WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert“As the airline partner of the WNBA, this partnership not only enhances the travel experience for the players, but also underscores Delta and the WNBA’s shared commitment to promoting the growth and visibility of women’s sports. With Delta’s support, we look forward to taking the WNBA to new heights and connecting with fans in meaningful ways.”
