Founded in 2010 under the name United Eagle Airlines, Chengdu Airlines Co. Ltd, headquartered in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, is a flight operator offering journeys to 88 different locations across the world.
The agreed partnership sees Chengdu Airlines named as Title Sponsor and receive category exclusivity for the airline service for the 2019 ITTF Men’s World Cup, an event which will see 20 of the finest male table tennis stars on the planet meet in fiery competition for one of the most coveted trophies the sport has to offer.
While the ITTF Men’s World Cup has visited China on several occasions, this is the first time in the tournament’s 23-year history that the city of Chengdu plays host and comes one month on from the 2019 ITTF Women’s World Cup, which was also staged in the capital of Sichuan Province.
“Chengdu Airlines will support the ITTF to make the 2019 ITTF Men’s World Cup a great event, flying the domestic civil aircraft to the world. I believe that this partnership will further enhance our international friendship and make new contributions to table tennis in the future!” – Zha Guangyi, General Manager of Chengdu Airlines
Chengdu Airlines is no stranger to the world of table tennis having thrown its support behind the 2018 ITTF Women’s World Cup, acting as Official Sponsor on that occasion. One year on and with many of the world’s greatest male table tennis stars taking to Chengdu for the 2019 ITTF Men’s World Cup, Chengdu Airlines’ partnership with the event is the perfect fit for what promises to be a spectacular three days of world-class action.
“We are delighted to be welcoming Chengdu Airlines back on board for one of our most prestigious events of the year. The city of Chengdu is familiar territory for top ITTF events and therefore it is fitting that we partner with a locally headquartered, yet nationwide respected, company in Chengdu Airlines.” – Kimberly Kho, ITTF Head of Sponsorship
