Emirates has unveiled a new livery on its Boeing 777, featuring top players from Real Madrid. The airline, which has been a partner of the football club since 2011 and its jersey sponsor since 2013, will continue as the Official Main Sponsor until 2026. This sponsorship is noted as the longest in La Liga history.

The aircraft's decal showcases prominent players such as Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior, Luka Modric, Jude Bellingham, Lucas Vazquez, and Federico Valverde. The special Boeing 777 is set to operate flights to various cities including Athens, Vienna, Miami, Seattle, and Kuwait.

Since launching operations to Madrid in 2010, Emirates has maintained a double daily service using both A380 and Boeing 777 aircraft. In line with its retrofit program valued at several billion dollars, Emirates has updated 40 aircraft with new interiors including Premium Economy cabins.
