On Tuesday 3 February 2026, German basketball club VET-CONCEPT Gladiators Trier announced Luxair as a new partner, joining the club's circle of partners in the easyCredit Basketball Bundesliga.
According to VET-CONCEPT Gladiators Trier, Luxair, as the airline of the Greater Region, maintains a presence wherever people live, work and spend their free time, including in professional sports. The club added that the Gladiators are firmly anchored in Trier, Germany and the surrounding region and highlighted its broad appeal, particularly among many families who follow basketball together, as a key basis for the partnership.
According to the press release, the new partnership includes prominent advertising space in the SWT-Arena and joint communication activities across various media channels. In addition, the partnership will see Luxair provide logistical support for the club's away games to arenas in Germany.
Another highlight of the collaboration will be Luxair Matchday, an event day feature where fans can take part in activities and learn more about the airline company and its travel offers. Luxair Matchday will also present the company as an important employer in Luxembourg and highlight the people and teamwork behind the airline’s daily operations.
Florian Hosseini, Managing Director of VET-CONCEPT Gladiators Trier, said: "We are delighted to welcome Luxair, one of the best-known companies in the Greater Region, as our new partner. With potential flights from Luxembourg Airport and the support of such a well-connected company, we will benefit enormously from this partnership and are very much looking forward to the future. We would like to thank Luxair for the constructive discussions, the respectful exchange and the trust placed in our work."
Thomas Fischer, Chief Commercial Officer of Luxair, added: "Luxair is the airline of the Greater Region and this is exactly where the Gladiators are firmly rooted. That is why this partnership is a great fit for us. We are looking forward to joint activities at the SWT Arena and especially to the Luxair Matchday. Our aim is to offer fans special moments while also showing what Luxair stands for: attractive travel offers, a broad route network and exciting job and career opportunities. It is particularly nice to see how many families in Trier enjoy basketball together and we at Luxair are just as happy to accompany families on their holiday trips."
