Etihad Airways and Chennai Super Kings unveil new livery

The aircraft, which is the first Airbus A320neo to be operated by a UAE carrier and 20% more fuel efficient than previous generation aircraft, will serve on Etihad’s short haul routes. The aircraft’s inaugural flight will take place in December to CSK’s home base in Chennai, India, delighting the millions of fans visiting and residing in the city.

Arik De, chief revenue and commercial officer, Etihad Airways, said: “We are delighted to once again demonstrate our commitment to the Indian market and celebrate our partnership with CSK with this stunning new livery in the bold yellow and blue colours of the Chennai Super Kings. We are incredibly proud of our partnership with CSK and the joy that cricket brings to so many people around the world. 

“With our rapidly expanding global network, we are able to showcase the CSK special livery to millions of people in destinations wide and far, and bring more fans globally to the game we love and enjoy,” he added. 

In February, Etihad became official sponsor of the Indian Premier League team, CSK, for the 2024 season.
