Chiefs take-off with new Flybe deal

Exeter Chiefs are ready to hit new heights in the 2014/15 season after the club confirmed a new two-year sponsorship deal with Europe’s largest regional airline Flybe.

This will see the Exeter-based airline continuing its branding sponsorship with the Chiefs, that will now include appearing on the official playing shirts for the first time as the team competes again for Aviva Premiership honours.

Embarking on a fifth season of working together, the agreement helps underline the continued sponsorship Flybe has given to the Chiefs since their promotion into English rugby's top flight back in 2010.

Welcoming the extended deal, Flybe’s Marketing Director, Martin Smith, said: “We are pleased to be able to play a key role in supporting the Chiefs with their successes both on and off the field, and we very much look forward to those continuing.

“Our ongoing support of the club brings together two successful teams. It also represents a core element of our sustained commitment to championing the local communities in which we operate.”

Sharing his view, Exeter Chiefs' Head of Corporate, John Wood, added: "We are delighted to have secured a deal for the next two years from one of the UK’s largest regional brands. It’s a winning combination – so long may this synergy continue for many years to come."
