Emirates unveils Grand Slam A380 livery celebrating global tennis partnership

Share

Emirates has introduced a new Airbus A380 livery honouring its long-standing sponsorship of all four Grand Slam tennis tournaments: the Australian Open, Roland-Garros, Wimbledon, and the US Open. Unveiled in Dubai on 14 January 2026, the design features tennis-inspired graphics, with each Grand Slam logo framed within a tennis ball motif and displayed in the tournament’s distinctive colours.

The special livery entered service with a flight to Melbourne to coincide with the start of the Australian Open. It will remain in Emirates’ fleet for the coming years, operating on international routes including destinations such as Houston and São Paulo. The aircraft symbolises the sport’s core values of sportsmanship, discipline and resilience, carried worldwide through Emirates’ global network.

The initiative highlights Emirates’ position as one of the world’s leading supporters of tennis and reflects its broader sports sponsorship strategy. Beyond tennis, the airline maintains an extensive portfolio across disciplines, including football, cricket, golf, horse racing, sailing, basketball and cycling, reinforcing its brand visibility and commitment to connecting fans worldwide through sport.
