Priority Pass, the original and market-leading airport experiences programme, owned and operated by Collinson International, today announced the renewal of its partnership with the Chennai Bulls as Official Airport Lounge Partner for the 2026 Rugby Premier League (RPL) season. Athletes and coaches across the men’s and women’s teams will receive access to more than 1,800 airport lounges and travel experiences globally.

Building on the strategic collaboration first announced in 2025, Priority Pass is extending its support to the women’s team for the first time as the RPL launches its inaugural women’s season. The partnership underscores Priority Pass’ ongoing commitment to supporting athlete wellbeing, while aligning with the Chennai Bulls’ vision to grow rugby as a premier sport in India.

“We are proud to build on what was a successful inaugural season with the Chennai Bulls – India's first RPL champions – and to extend our support to the women's team as the league enters this exciting new chapter. By providing both teams with access to airport lounges and travel experiences across 793 airports in 146 countries, including more than 80 in India, we aim to help them travel in greater comfort and arrive refreshed ahead of the tournament,” said Rom Remy, Managing Director for South and Southeast Asia, Collinson International. “We look forward to deepening our partnership with the Chennai Bulls as they continue to build a stronger and more inclusive rugby ecosystem in India.”

Through this strengthened partnership with Priority Pass, both our men’s and women’s teams can enjoy a smoother, more comfortable travel experience, enabling them to arrive focused and ready to perform at their best wherever they compete. We are grateful to Priority Pass for their continued support as we grow the sport of rugby in India.”
