Emirates celebrates another year of “fly better” experiences at Roland-Garros 2024, marking its twelfth consecutive year as the Official Airline and Premium Partner of the event.
The premier clay court tournament will take place from May 20 to June 9, 2024, at Stade Roland-Garros in Paris. Emirates has been a dedicated supporter of tennis for three decades and proudly sponsors all four Grand Slam tournaments, including the Australian Open, the US Open, and, more recently, The Championships, Wimbledon.
Adnan Kazim, Emirates’ Deputy President and Chief Commercial Officer, said: “We’re happy to be back on the clay court this year, and to continue growing our presence in the world of tennis. Emirates is renowned for serving world-class experiences and this year will be no different at Roland-Garros. We look forward to engaging with fans from all over the world and to offering top-notch sporting experiences on-ground.”
Creating “fly better” moments at Roland-Garros
Tennis enthusiasts can immerse themselves in the excitement of Roland-Garros as the airline launches a series of engaging on-ground initiatives. Visitors can snap photos, play games, and create lasting memories at Emirates’ interactive photo booth. Fans are in for a treat with complimentary ice cream on May 28 and June 5 at Jardin des Mousquetaires, a Dilmah Tea tasting experience featuring the teas served onboard, and world-class hospitality.
Additionally, the airline will enhance the “fly better” experience at Roland-Garros through its long-standing partnership with Moët Hennessy. Guests in the hospitality suite will enjoy an exquisite wine tasting, featuring a selection of Dom Perignon expressions such as Prestige Vasque, Moët Imperial Brut, and Rock Angel from Chateau d’Esclans.
Emirates is also the presenting partner of the Trophée des Légendes, which runs from June 4 to 9, 2024. The airline will offer children from the local organization “Fête le Mur” a unique experience. Fête le Mur aims to provide children from disadvantaged neighborhoods with opportunities to engage in sports, including tennis lessons. Each day, one child will have the chance to participate in the Trophée des Légendes, perform the coin toss to kick off the legend matches, meet renowned tennis legends, and take photos with Emirates’ friendly cabin crew.
