The Oakland Raiders and and AirAsia have announced on Friday that they have entered a new sponsorship deal. AirAsia's A340 airliner Xcellance has been painted with the Raider colors of Silver & Black.
The airliner has the Raiders shield on the tailfin and an eye patch on the noise of the plane. Raiders is painted on both sides of the airliner in large silver letter and large images of Raider players have also been painted on the plane.
The airline will host a 1000 seat web based contest with people able to win tickets to Raider home games. It is rumored that the AirAsia Xcellence will even be flying into Oakland for one of the home games in 2009. Details will be given on both AirAsia and the Raiders websites in the future.
The shocking part of this deal is that AirAsia does not service the United States. AirAsia fly 122 routes in Asia and has the largest network in Asia. AirAsia has carried 70 million passengers and has a fleet of 80 aircraft.
