Fiji Airways has officially become an Official Airline Partner of the LA Clippers for the 2024-25 NBA season, enhancing its ties to Los Angeles. As the only airline offering daily non-stop flights between Fiji and the city, Fiji Airways provides convenient travel and award-winning service to its passengers.
This partnership will allow Fiji Airways to amplify its presence in the Los Angeles community through extensive branding at games, exclusive promotions, contests, and participation in LA Clippers youth camps and clinics.
“We’re thrilled to support the Clippers and their fans, both on and off the court, and bring our long-standing direct service from Los Angeles to Fiji into the spotlight,” stated Fiji Airways’ Chief Executive and Managing Director Andre Viljoen. “This marks our first sponsorship with an NBA team, and we couldn’t be more excited. This initiative aligns with our Game-Changer strategies aimed at driving growth across North America.”
Over the course of the three-year sponsorship, Fiji Airways’ branding will be prominently displayed in the Clippers’ new arena, Intuit Dome, during all home games, promoting the appeal of Fiji’s islands to a large audience.
“With over 17,500 fans at each game, our partnership with the LA Clippers offers a platform to showcase Fiji and promote tourism to our beautiful nation,” Viljoen added. Clippers fans can look forward to special travel offers, promotions, and engaging on-court contests throughout the season, with opportunities to win exclusive prizes, including free flights to Fiji and travel packages.
“This partnership transcends sports. The Clippers embody values like teamwork and excellence, and we are excited to invite more Clippers fans onboard,” Viljoen said.
Additionally, Fiji Airways is set to support Clippers Community efforts through youth camps and clinics, reflecting the airline’s commitment to community engagement and nurturing future sports talents. Scott Sonnenberg, Chief Commercial Officer of the LA Clippers and Intuit Dome, expressed pride in being Fiji Airways’ first NBA partner, emphasizing the potential to reach new global audiences and enhance experiences for Clippers fans.
