Barça launches a special plane to fly to the classic

As a result of the historic sponsorship agreement with Vueling that FC Barcelona signed seven months ago and until 2026, the soccer players are launching a new customized plane today to travel to Madrid. On one side there are images of the last double winner of the Ballon d’Or, Aitana Bonmatí, along with Graham Hansen and Salma Paralluelo, the finalists on the podium. At the other end are the captain and also winner of two Ballon d’Ors, Alexia Putellas along with Mapi León and Graham Hansen.

There is more news regarding the plane from last year. The interior, which will simulate a football field by incorporating a central circle in the hallway, presents new features in the personalization of the seat headrests with the Blaugrana colors.

The windows incorporate the message ‘Dream, Play, Fly’.

A few words inspired by the trajectories of the players of the women’s first team.

The heads and windows themselves incorporate the message ‘Dream, Play, Fly’. A few words inspired by the trajectories of the players of the women’s first team. How they dreamed of playing when they were little; how, through effort and perseverance, they managed to fulfill their dream and play at a professional level; and how, now, they fly high, becoming references for future generations.

Finally, on the outside of the fuselage, under the pilot’s window, the inscription with the name of the plane will be incorporated: ‘Blaugranes al vent’.

It is worth remembering that this sponsorship agreement made FC Barcelona the first European women’s football team to have its image projected on a regular airliner. During these first months, the Airbus A320 plane has accompanied the players in some European commitments and national competitions as long as the plane did not have a route already set before the matches appeared on the calendar. It has also transported more than 125,000 passengers to 60 Vueling destinations across Europe. In total, it has made nearly 750 flights and traveled more than 740,000 kilometers.

The agreement to transport the women’s team is in force in Europe, Israel and North Africa (Tunisia, Libya, Morocco, Egypt and Algeria), where Vueling operates. And it also includes commercial activations within the framework of matches at the Johan Cruyff Stadium, collaborations in the creation of digital content and dissemination through the platforms of both entities, among other assets.
