Delta Private Jets partners with NFL Players Association

Delta Private Jets is pleased to announce a partnership with the National Football League Players Association for 2016. Delta Private Jets, as part of this collaboration, will offer exclusive experiences between NFL players and top customers, and will also support the initiatives and community outreach efforts of NFL players. These experiences include VIP Super Bowl and Pro-Bowl tickets as well as access to members-only events and access to NFL players.

"We are always looking for ways to enhance our customer experience on our jets and in their lives by creating unique experiences for DPJ's Jet Card members," said David Sneed, executive vice-president and chief operating officer of Delta Private Jets. "This partnership allows us to do just that."

"This is a tremendous opportunity for NFL players to be rewarded and recognized for the work they do in the community," said Ahmad Nassar, president of NFL Players Inc. "NFL players have a tremendous reach and positive impact on others, and this partnership will highlight the very best of all we do as an organization to serve players."

Delta Private Jets was the presenting sponsor of the Byron "Whizzer" White Award during Super Bowl 50 weekend and presented the winner, Thomas Davis of the Carolina Panthers, with a free flight on one of its jets. The NFLPA's highest honor is given each season to an NFL player who best serves his team, community and country in the spirit of Byron "Whizzer" White. Davis and his wife Kelly, who accepted the award on his behalf, founded the Thomas Davis Defending Dreams foundation in 2008. The organization focuses on helping underprivileged children in North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia.
