Following Aer lingus’ recent 90th anniversary celebrations, the airline has announced its partnership with its new brand ambassador, Irish boxer, Katie Taylor.
Katie Taylor has achieved one of boxing’s rarest distinctions: two-weight undisputed world champion, holding titles at lightweight and super-lightweight.
Her record-breaking fights have transformed the global viewership of women’s boxing.
The partnership brings together a shared Irish spirit and global ambitions, with each proudly flying the Irish flag on the world stage.
The airline will also fly the boxer home on September 5th.
Aer Lingus plays a key role in Ireland’s connection to the world, carrying passengers on over 100 routes from Dublin, Cork, Shannon and Ireland West Airport to Europe, the UK and North America.
Susanne Carberry, Chief Customer Officer, Aer Lingus:
“We are immensely proud to be partnering with Katie Taylor. Katie is the epitome of belief and determination.
“She changed the sport of boxing globally and built an audience of millions for women’s boxing that simply didn’t exist before her. That’s not just a remarkable sporting career – that’s inspiration to us all that change, and progress, is possible.
“That spirit is one I recognise in Aer Lingus. It’s the spirit that put a small aircraft on a runway in Baldonnel in 1936 with five passengers and the belief that Irish aviation could be something – and since then, we’ve been proudly flying Ireland to the world and bringing people home for 90 years.”
Also speaking about the announcement, Katie Taylor added:
“Aer Lingus has been a key part of my life, but especially since I moved to the USA. Their famous shamrock has been a true symbol of home for me, and my family and friends have been able to visit me regularly thanks to this airline.
This is an extremely important announcement for me, and to be partnering with such an iconic brand that represents everything about home for me is truly something special.”
