ONE TEAM, ONE DREAM Dear HON CIRCLE RD, We are delighted to announce the expansion of our sponsorship of English Premier League football team Manchester City FC for a further 10 years. This continued partnership between the World’s Leading Airline* and the 2011 FA Cup Champions and UEFA Champions League qualifiers, will see many new and exciting ventures and initiatives in the coming months. The famous City of Manchester Stadium will be renamed the Etihad Stadium with immediate effect, and will become the centerpiece of a newly-named Etihad Campus, which will encompass the former Sportcity site in East Manchester, the City Square entertainment space, and additional existing and planned facilities. This is in addition to the launch of double-daily flights between Abu Dhabi and Manchester from 1 August this year. To celebrate our deeper collaboration, we are also pleased to announce the launch of a special Manchester City liveried aircraft, painted in the Club’s signature powder blue hue. We look forward to welcoming you onboard that aircraft, and all of the Etihad fleet, very soon.
