Emirates Takes to the Skies with Stunning Grand Slam Livery

Emirates, the world’s largest international airline and a leading supporter of tennis, has unveiled a striking Airbus A380 livery celebrating its sponsorship of all four Grand Slam tournaments.

The new design features a vibrant mix of tennis-inspired elements, with each Grand Slam logo encased within a tennis ball emblem and depicted in the tournament’s signature colours: Australian Open’s summer blue, Roland-Garros’ red clay, Wimbledon’s green and purple, and the US Open’s yellow and blue.

Aviation enthusiasts and tennis fans can catch the eye-catching aircraft on routes to cities such as Houston and São Paulo, carrying the sport’s values of sportsmanship, discipline, and resilience around the world. The first flight sporting the livery touched down in Melbourne, Australia, marking the start of the year’s opening Grand Slam tournament.

Emirates’ extensive portfolio of sports and cultural partnerships connects millions globally through shared passions and world-class experiences. Its tennis sponsorship spans the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships and all four Grand Slams.

Beyond tennis, Emirates supports numerous international sports, including:

  • Horse racing: Dubai World Cup, Team Godolphin
  • Golf: DP World Tour
  • Cricket: Major ICC events, ICC Elite Panel of Umpires, Lancashire County Cricket Club
  • Sailing: Emirates Team New Zealand, SailGP
  • Basketball: NBA, Real Madrid, Beirut Basketball Club

The airline also appears on the jerseys of leading football clubs, including Arsenal FC, Real Madrid CF, AC Milan, S.L. Benfica, Olympique Lyonnais, and serves as Platinum Partner to FC Bayern Munich. Emirates has been the title sponsor of The FA Cup for nearly a decade, and locally, it supports the UAE Pro League and appears on Al Ain FC’s training kit during the 2025/2026 season.

Emirates’ latest Grand Slam livery underlines the airline’s commitment to connecting fans and communities worldwide through shared sporting experiences.
