The dream season for Manchester City ended in an Etihad Airways 787-9 Dreamliner, as the UAE’s national airline flew the newly-crowned European champions home in unique club-liveried plane.
It was the first time a champion team has flown home on their own branded aircraft when they took the charter flight following their Saturday night 1-0 win in Istanbul over Inter Milan.
The specially-branded Dreamliner, registered A6-BND, flew the team from Istanbul to Manchester Airport on Sunday. The aircraft design honours the airline’s 14-year partnership with the club and features Manchester City’s blue colour and club branding.
