American Airlines has announced a partnership with the Texas Rangers, the current World Champions, establishing itself as the team’s Official and Exclusive Airline and Airline Rewards Program.
This long-term agreement also promises enhanced marketing and sponsorship opportunities designed to connect with fans both locally and globally.
According to Ron DeFeo, Chief Marketing and Communications Officer at American Airlines, this alliance represents a “home run” for the airline and baseball enthusiasts alike. He highlighted the synergy between American’s mission of connecting people and places and the shared excitement and passion for baseball, promising memorable experiences for AAdvantage members.
The partnership promises to offer Rangers fans unique opportunities to engage with the sport, including throwing the first pitch, enjoying suite seats, and exclusive meet-and-greets with favorite players. American Airlines aims to elevate the fan experience, making these special moments accessible exclusively to AAdvantage® members.
To participate in these exclusive experiences, fans must sign up as AAdvantage® members. U.S. residents aged 18 and over can enter daily for a chance to win these unique prizes by visiting aa.com/RangersPerks.
The sponsorship includes the introduction of an American Airlines-branded First Base Lounge at Globe Life Field, enhancing the game-day experience. This is not the first collaboration between American Airlines and the Texas Rangers, as they have previously joined forces on community projects with the Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation.
Jim Cochrane, the Texas Rangers’ Executive Vice President and Chief Revenue Officer, praised American Airlines for their ongoing partnership and support of the Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation. The new agreement further cements American’s role as a key partner, offering AAdvantage members access to once-in-a-lifetime experiences and exclusive rewards.
As the largest carrier in Dallas-Fort Worth and Texas, American Airlines connects customers to over 230 destinations from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW). This includes nonstop flights to all major cities where the Rangers compete, underscoring the airline’s commitment to connecting fans with their beloved team.
