Alaska Airlines wings in for Portland Timbers extension

Major League Soccer team Portland Timbers has agreed a multi-year renewal to its shirt sponsorship agreement with Alaska Airlines.

In addition to being featured on the front of the Timbers jerseys, Alaska Airlines will continue to serve as the team’s official airline.

Alaska Airlines is a founding partner of Portland Timbers and has been the team’s shirt sponsor since its MLS debut in 2011.

The airline will continue to support the Portland Timbers Community Fund, partnering the club on several youth-based fitness and educational initiatives, and donate 25 match tickets for Timbers home games to underprivileged children as part of the Tickets for Kids programme.

Additionally, Alaska Airlines will continue its boarding privileges reward for fans wearing Timbers jerseys and travelling on its flights from Portland International Airport.
