Emirates Delivers Another Year of ‘Fly Better’ Experiences at Roland-Garros 2025

Emirates has returned to the world-famous clay courts of Roland-Garros for the 13th consecutive year, once again taking centre stage as the Official Airline and Premium Partner of the French Open. 

The tournament, which runs from 25 May to 8 June 2025, combines world-class tennis with Emirates’ signature “fly better” hospitality and immersive fan experiences.

Throughout the tournament, Emirates is treating tennis fans and VIP guests to exceptional services both on and off the court. From its exclusive Salon Phillipe-Chatrier lounge, guests enjoy gourmet dishes and premium views of the action at Centre Court. 

On the ground, fans can engage with Emirates’ interactive photo booth, offering games, giveaways, and chances to win prizes — including two Economy Class tickets from Paris to Dubai.

To help attendees stay cool, Emirates is offering complimentary ice cream on three select days — 24 May, 28 May, and 4 June — at the iconic Jardin des Mousquetaires. These initiatives are part of the airline’s ongoing efforts to enhance spectator experiences and strengthen its connection with global audiences.

Furthering its commitment to community development, Emirates has again partnered with Fête le Mur, a local non-profit that provides underprivileged youth with access to tennis and sporting activities. Through this partnership, children will participate in the Trophée des Légendes, with opportunities to meet tennis legends, enjoy Emirates’ premium hospitality suite, and serve as coin tossers before key matches.

A Premium Partner of Roland-Garros since 2018, Emirates will maintain this status until at least 2027. The airline is also the Official Airline and Premier Partner of the ATP World Tour and supports other major tennis tournaments including Wimbledon, the Australian Open, and the US Open, in addition to over 60 tournaments annually.

Beyond tennis, Emirates is a significant supporter of French sport, serving as the Official Main Sponsor of Olympique Lyonnais until 2030 and backing UAE Team Emirates in cycling events like the Tour de France.

Celebrating over 30 years of operations in France, Emirates currently operates 21 weekly flights to Paris — including three daily Airbus A380 services — and daily flights to both Nice and Lyon, with the latter set to be upgraded to an A350 aircraft starting June 2025. During Roland-Garros, passengers flying from Paris, Lyon, and Nice will enjoy themed in-flight amenities including tennis-centric menus, desserts with the tournament logo, and exclusive content on ice, the airline’s entertainment system.

Premium travellers departing from Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport will be welcomed with tennis-inspired drinks and delicacies at the Emirates Lounge in Terminal 2C.

With a network spanning over 140 global destinations, Emirates continues to offer French travellers seamless connections to key regions including Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Australasia.
