Kansas-headquartered fractional operator Airshare has agreed a multi-year extension of its marketing partnership with Patrick Mahomes, the quarterback of American football team the Kansas City Chiefs, that began prior to Mahomes' first season as starting quarterback of the Chiefs in 2018.

Following another MVP season and a second Super Bowl Championship, Mahomes' life has never been busier. Maximising time with his family and maintaining a strict offseason training regimen has become even more challenging, as Mahomes also dedicates considerable time to his successful charitable organisation and growing business portfolio. He depends on the efficiency and convenience of flying with Airshare to ensure that he maintains a high level of productivity every single day.

“Airshare was one of my first partnerships; it believed in me from the very beginning of my professional career as a starting quarterback,” he says. “We have both experienced a lot of success over the last five years. As my travel needs have evolved, Airshare has always been there for me and my family. Now, more than ever, I appreciate how flying private allows me to get the most out of my limited time during the offseason. I'm excited to continue our partnership.”

Over the same period, Airshare has become one of the fastest-growing private aviation companies in the US, offering a best-in-class suite of solutions including fractional ownership, jet cards, aircraft management and charter services. The company recently expanded into Florida and expects to be operating in the US northeast within the next year. Mahomes has been a phenomenal ambassador for the company and is a perfect example of how the company customises programmes specific to the needs of its clientele.

“We have a special relationship with Patrick, and we're proud to have him continue representing the Airshare brand,” says chief marketing officer Andy Tretiak. “His achievements both on and off the field are extraordinary, and helping him balance such a demanding schedule has been rewarding for our entire team. He's a perfect example of how both leisure and business customers benefit from the comfort and peace of mind while flying private with us.”
