14 Aug 2025

Crystal Palace Football Club are delighted to welcome SunExpress, a joint venture between Lufthansa and Turkish Airlines, as the Club’s Official Airline Partner in a new multi-year agreement.

The partnership will have a strong digital focus, launching with a dedicated player-led video campaign, and will see the partners collaborate on a series of initiatives designed to enhance the fan experience and promote both brands across the UK and beyond.

From the start of the 2025/26 season, Palace supporters will be able to enjoy exclusive benefits and competitions by SunExpress, including the chance to win flights to Türkiye, VIP match tickets, and unique “money-can’t-buy” experiences.

SunExpress will feature prominently at Selhurst Park, with extensive LED profiling and pitch-side branding at all Premier League and FA Cup home matches, plus digital activations across the Club’s channels.

Steve Parish, Chairman at Crystal Palace FC, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome SunExpress as our Official Airline Partner. Their ambition, reach and reputation for connecting people with the places they love make them an exciting addition to our partner family. Together we’ll deliver creative activations, memorable experiences and opportunities for supporters to get closer to both the Club and SunExpress – whether that’s at Selhurst Park, online, or even on board a Crystal Palace-branded aircraft.”

Max Kownatzki, CEO of SunExpress, said: "SunExpress is proud to become the Official Airline Partner of Crystal Palace Football Club, a team that inspires passion and unity with its fans in London, and across the UK and beyond. With a wide range of year-round services from Crystal Palace’s local airport, London Gatwick, we can offer exciting travel experiences to fans. Football brings people together in the same way our airline connects travellers with the places and people they love.”
