Emirates extends partnership with US Open for fan experience enhancements

On August 26, Emirates will host a tennis clinic for children from the Kings County Tennis League at Arthur Ashe Stadium. Tennis legends Sloane Stephens and John Isner are scheduled to provide lessons during this clinic. According to Emirates, “Emirates’ Force for Good programme was launched in partnership with the USTA Foundation in 2024 with the shared goal of empowering youth and expanding access to safe, high-quality tennis facilities.” The program has already contributed new tennis courts to communities in Brooklyn, New York and East Palo Alto, California.

Children who benefited from these initiatives—specifically those from King’s County Tennis League who used new facilities at De Hostos Playground—will receive instruction during the clinic. Later that day some students and their guardians will be hosted in Emirates’ hospitality suite while others attend matches from promenade seats.

For fans traveling during the tournament period, Emirates’ ice entertainment system will broadcast live US Open matches via Sport 24 on over 1,000 flights per week globally. Major finals can also be viewed on large screens in the A380 Onboard Lounge. Passengers have access to an additional selection of tennis films and documentaries across multiple channels.

Passengers flying between Dubai and select U.S. destinations can enjoy special US Open-inspired menus as well as signature cocktails such as GREY GOOSE Honey Deuce.
