Boeing, Arlington, VA, recently announced its continuation of Platinum Level sponsorship with the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA), Oshkosh, WI, especially for its annual EAA AirVenture Oshkosh fly-in convention. The agreement keeps Boeing among the long-standing partners supporting the event. Boeing’s formal support of AirVenture dates back to 2011 and has since expanded into one of the largest exhibitor presences on the show grounds. Under the new three-year agreement, Boeing will retain naming rights for Boeing Plaza and will continue to provide free AirVenture admission for all youth attendees aged 18 and under. The agreement also includes Boeing’s role as Presenting Sponsor of WomenVenture, continued support for the Airline Crew Check-in, and ongoing involvement with several KidVenture activities.
“The participation in AirVenture continues to grow not only within general aviation but also in the commercial, business, and military sectors. It’s an ideal stage to showcase Boeing’s diverse products and services,” said Chris Raymond, President and CEO of Boeing Global Services. “EAA has an impressive global reach with an immense community and helps inspire the next generation of aviation professionals.”
EAA leadership welcomed the continuation of the partnership, noting the impact Boeing’s involvement has had on the event and its younger visitors. “Boeing has been a valued partner to EAA over the years. Boeing Plaza has become the heartbeat of AirVenture, and their support of the youth admission has given nearly 500,000 kids the opportunity to explore the incredible world of aviation over the past three years. We are so grateful to see this partnership continue,” said Jack Pelton, EAA CEO and chairman. For more information and to support the EAA, click on the link here: www.eaa.org/eaa.
