AFL’s Carlton upgrades Virgin Australia partnership

The Virgin Australia airline has expanded its partnership with AFL Aussie rules football club Carlton.

Under the new agreement, Virgin Australia will serve as a co-major partner of the club for the remainder of 2017.

The airline will benefit through visibility of its logo on all official Carlton apparel, with its branding to feature on the front of the team's away shirt and the back of the home shirt.

Virgin Australia has been a platinum partner of the club since 2015, and will continue as a business class partner and the official airline partner of the club.
