The Sun Daily (Malaysia) AirAsia signs RM12.4m shirt sponsor deal with QPR
Posted on 21 May 2012
PETALING JAYA (May 21, 2012): AirAsia Bhd has signed a £2.5 million (RM12.4 million) deal with Queens Park Rangers Football Club (QPR) to sponsor the QPR shirt in the 2012/13 Barclays Premier League (BPL).
The budget airline has been the sponsor for the QPR "Away" shirt for the 2011/2012 BPL season, which expires end of this month.
Under the one-year sponsorship deal signed last Friday, which included an option to extend it for another year, AirAsia has the branding rights through logo placement on the home, away and third QPR shirt, the primary and secondary boards, the interview backdrops, and the stadium access areas and match day advertising together with the use of the name, fame and imagery of QPR for promotional purposes in all media worldwide.
It also has the use of the 'official partner logo' of QPR, which will enable AirAsia to develop a specialised co-branded merchandising sales with the QPR brand.
AirAsia also has the right to exercise the option to sponsor QPR's pre-season tour for an additional amount up to a value of £500,000.
"As football is the top global spectator sport and the BPL having a large following in Asia, AirAsia sees that the association with the sport of football will further elevate its brand," the airline said in a filing with Bursa Malaysia last Friday.
Tan Sri Tony Fernandes and Datuk Kamarudin Meranun collectively own a 75% shareholding in Tune QPR Sdn Bhd, which in turn owns a 66.02% shareholding in QPR Holdings Ltd, parent of the QPR football club. Fernandes is QPR chairman.
In a separate announcement, AirAsia said it had on Friday entered into a Letter of Termination with Malaysia Airlines to formally terminate the proposed warrants exchange and the warrants exchange agreement entered into between the two airlines on Oct 21 last year.
Under a share swap deal between MAS and AirAsia that was recently scrapped, MAS shareholders were to get one AirAsia warrant for every 30 MAS shares they own, while AirAsia shareholders would get one MAS warrant for every 10 AirAsia shares they own. Sun Daily
Soccerex - QPR lands AirAsia extension
Queens
Park Rangers (QPR) has celebrated survival in the Barclays Premier
League by signing a new contract that sees AirAsia become the club’s
official shirt sponsor and main partner.
Having won promotion as
victors of the Championship in 2010-11, the London club secured its
Premier League safety on the final day of the 2011-12 season. AirAsia
had initially announced that the airline would be the away and third kit
sponsor of QPR for the 2011-12 season following chief executive Tony
Fernandes’ takeover of the club in August. However, the new agreement
will see AirAsia’s logo displayed on QPR’s home, away and third shirts
for the 2012-13 Premier League season.
“Moving AirAsia onto
all three of our playing kits allows them the maximum exposure to the
growing worldwide football audience,” said QPR marketing director, Becky
Grote. “We have great ambition for the growth of QPR in the Asian
market, and AirAsia provide us with the perfect platform to raise
awareness of the club in new territories.” Kathleen Tan,
group commercial head of AirAsia, added: “QPR’s achievement of securing
their Premier League status mirrors our own hard work and challenges
that we went through in making AirAsia the world’s best low cost airline
for three years in a row. We’re proud to associate ourselves with QPR, a
team with remarkable history in English football, whose unrelenting
spirit reflects our own endeavour for success.” Soccerex

QPR are to freeze season ticket prices for the 2012-13 campaign.
The news is expected to be confirmed in the coming days, along with details of a pre-season visit to South East Asia.
Massive increases in prices, introduced a year ago by the Flavio Briatore-led regime, caused uproar among R’s fans. West London Sport
