Japan Airlines becomes Liverpool FC’s first airline partner in five years
Japan Airlines (JAL) has become Liverpool Football Club’s first official airline partner in five years after the two entities announced a multi-year deal.
Through its new partnership with Liverpool FC, Japan Airlines will become part of one of football’s greatest ever teams, renowned for its rich, vibrant history and incredible worldwide fanbase.
At the same time Liverpool FC will become interconnected with one of Japan’s premier airlines with worldwide reach, particularly in the Asian market.
Ben Latty, Chief Commercial Officer at Liverpool FC, said he is “delighted” to welcome Japan Airlines onboard and partner with a brand that shares the club’s “winning mentality”.
“This partnership aligns our global ambitions, combining the passion and heritage of one of the world’s most storied football clubs, with the exceptional service and reach of Japan’s premier airline. The partnership will create opportunities for fans to engage with the club through unique activations and experiences,” Latty said.
He added: “Partnering with Japan Airlines is another major step forward in our club’s strategy to expand our international presence and engage more deeply with our diverse and dedicated global fanbase.”

Liverpool is an attractive club to a variety of companies due to it having the Premier League’s most engaged online fan base and being the most watched European team globally across domestic and league cup fixtures.
“This partnership is significant for us because it will allow us to deepen connections with our customers and develop new relationships with Liverpool FC fans around the world. We feel incredibly fortunate to be embarking on this exciting journey with the Liverpool FC and the LFC Foundation,” said Junko Sakihara, Deputy Senior Vice President of Customer Experience at Japan Airlines.
Under the partnership Japan Airlines will work closely with the LFC Foundation on key community initiatives across global markets.
The first initiative will start in July, with the airline supporting a youth football clinic with Liverpool FC’s international pre-season match in Philadelphia.
