Emirates is hoping it will be a case of game, set and match with its new livery celebrating this year’s Wimbledon tennis championship.

The airline is the official airline partner of the championships which starts tomorrow on 1 July at the All England Lawn Tennis Club in the UK and runs for two weeks.

To ensure it has a perfect first serve, the airline has unveiled a special A380 livery featuring the Wimbledon logo placed in between two sporting silhouettes in action.

The new livery will rally excitement as it heads to London Heathrow on 1 July, heralding the start of the third Grand Slam of the year.

The graphics will remain on the A380 aircraft throughout the tournament with scheduled services including London Heathrow, Manchester, Washington DC, Paris, New York (JFK), Casablanca, Zurich, Brisbane, Barcelona and Perth.

Emirates Airline president Sir Tim Clark said: “Wimbledon is one of the most prestigious events on the global sports calendar and we’re thrilled to celebrate our first year as the official airline partner.

“We have a unique opportunity to strengthen our enduring connection with tennis fans, including the many amongst our global customers.

“In our debut year of partnering with Wimbledon, our message to tennis fans will be big and bold.

“We look forward to showcasing some of the iconic Wimbledon experiences to our customers onboard, and also to bringing our renowned Emirates brand experience to the championships at The All England Tennis Club.”
