Brisbane Lions take flight with Garuda Indonesia

International airline Garuda Indonesia has entered into a sponsorship deal with AFL Aussie rules club the Brisbane Lions.

The one-year deal will run for the duration of the 2015 season.

Under the agreement, Garuda Indonesia will benefit from branding placement on players’ shorts.

Lions chief executive Greg Swann said: “Our partnership with Garuda Indonesia is a great coup for not only the Brisbane Lions but for the AFL industry and demonstrates our sports strength in attracting great brands to partner with.”

The deal will strengthen Garuda Indonesia’s presence in the sporting world after earlier this year signing an extended partnership with English Premier League football club Liverpool.
