Emirates has painted one of its A380 aircraft to commemorate its sponsorship of the premier tennis event, Wimbledon. The special decal will remain on the A380 throughout The Championships, with scheduled services including London Heathrow, Manchester, Washington D.C., Paris, New York (JFK), Casablanca, Zurich, Brisbane, Barcelona, and Perth.

Sir Tim Clark, President of Emirates Airline, stated: “Wimbledon is one of the most prestigious events on the global sports calendar and we’re thrilled to celebrate our first year as the Official Airline Partner. We have a unique opportunity to strengthen our enduring connection with tennis fans, including the many amongst our global customers. In our debut year of partnering with Wimbledon, our message to tennis fans will be big and bold. We look forward to showcasing some of the iconic Wimbledon experiences to our customers onboard and also to bringing our renowned Emirates brand experience to The Championships at The All England Tennis Club.”

During July, Emirates UK flights will feature a taste of the tennis championships. Emirates currently serves the UK with 133 weekly flights across seven gateways including London Heathrow, London Gatwick, London Stansted, Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle, and Glasgow. The airline will also return to Edinburgh with a daily A350 service starting from November 4th.
