Historical Background

Since 2024, Emirates has been the official airline partner of the Wimbledon Championships, the oldest and most prestigious tennis tournament in the world.

To highlight this multi-year partnership, Emirates introduced a special tennis-themed livery on its Airbus A380 fleet, using the aircraft’s iconic double-deck fuselage as a flying advertisement for the tournament.

The Airbus A380 itself is the world’s largest passenger aircraft and a flagship of the Emirates fleet, with the airline operating one of the largest A380 fleets globally. Its size and visibility make it the perfect platform for high-impact promotional liveries, often seen at major international airports.

This collaboration reflects a broader trend in aviation, where airlines partner with global sporting events to enhance brand visibility while creating visually distinctive aircraft that resonate with both aviation enthusiasts and sports fans.
