DUBAI, 16 January 2026: Emirates, one of the biggest supporters of tennis, has unveiled a stunning new Airbus A380 livery celebrating its enduring commitment to tennis through its sponsorship of all four Grand Slam tournaments.
Emirates sponsors the Australian Open, Roland-Garros, The Championships, Wimbledon and the US Open.
The livery features a mix of tennis-inspired elements, with each Grand Slam logo framed within a tennis-ball emblem and rendered in the tournament’s signature colours. The Australian Open’s summer blue, Roland-Garros’ bold red-clay, Wimbledon’s signature green and purple, and the US Open’s striking yellow and blue combination are all creatively represented in the design.
Aviation enthusiasts and tennis fans can look forward to catching a glimpse of the airline’s latest special Grand Slam livery as it graces the skies to cities like Houston and Sao Paulo, carrying the sport’s core values of sportsmanship, discipline and resilience all over the world.
The livery will remain in Emirates’ fleet for the coming years, with the first flight sporting this unique design having landed in Melbourne, Australia, to mark the start of this year’s first Grand Slam tournament.
