Allegiant Kicks of Football Season With Sleek Silver & Black Las Vegas Raiders Livery
Today, Executives from the Las Vegas Raiders and McCarran International Airport joined Allegiant for the unveiling of the airline’s Las Vegas Raiders aircraft. The Airbus A319 sports a sleek silver and black livery honoring the team and Raider Nation.
On Wednesday (September 8, 2021), Allegiant Travel unveiled their Raiders Nation aircraft featuring a sleek silver and black livery honoring the kickoff of the football season and their partnership with the Las Vegas Raiders. The Airbus A319's bespoke livery incorporates Allegiant’s signature branding elements such as a flowing ribbon encircling the fuselage, prominent logo and sunburst tail, all washed in the Silver & Black, recognized throughout the world as representing the Raiders. The silver metallic paint was carefully matched to the team’s helmets and the engine cowlings are adorned with the words “Raider Nation.” Allegiant is the official airline of the Las Vegas Raiders and the naming partner for Allegiant Stadium. As previously reported, last week the airline began offering exclusive fan travel packages that include airfare, hotel accommodations and tickets to Raiders home games.
In today’s announcement, Allegiant’s Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, Scott DeAngelo, said,
“As die-hard fans know, ‘The Autumn Wind is a Raider.’ As football season rolls in this fall, we're thrilled to have ‘The Autumn Wind’ bring this stunning aircraft to Las Vegas for all fans to enjoy. As Las Vegas’ hometown airline, we're incredibly proud of our partnership with our hometown team. This distinctive jet brings together signature elements of both our brands, combining them to showcase our shared community pride.”
Las Vegas Raiders’ President, Dan Ventrelle, added,
“We are pleased and excited to expand our partnership with Allegiant through the addition of this Raiders-branded aircraft. Raider Nation and beyond is now able to travel to and from the Sports and Entertainment Capital of the World in style.”
