Emirates, the Official Main Partner of Real Madrid, has unveiled a striking Real Madrid-themed livery on one of its Boeing 777 aircraft, celebrating its long-standing partnership with the Spanish football giants.

The custom-designed aircraft, featuring prominent players, landed in Madrid yesterday before flying the team on a specially chartered flight to Jeddah for the Spanish Super Cup tournament, set to take place from January 8 to 12.

The vibrant livery showcases some of Real Madrid’s top stars, including Kylian Mbappé, Vinícius Júnior, Luka Modrić, Jude Bellingham, Lucas Vázquez, and Federico Valverde. This initiative is part of Emirates' ongoing collaboration with the legendary club, a partnership that began in 2011. Emirates has been Real Madrid’s jersey sponsor since 2013 and will remain the Official Main Sponsor until 2026, marking the longest jersey sponsorship in La Liga history.

Through this collaboration, Emirates has consistently offered Real Madrid fans exclusive experiences, including player interactions and premium travel opportunities. The special Boeing 777 will also operate on routes to cities such as Athens, Vienna, Miami, Seattle, and Kuwait, bringing the spirit of Real Madrid to fans worldwide.

Since launching operations to Madrid in 2010, Emirates has been a key player in connecting Spain to the world, currently offering double-daily services to the city using a mix of Airbus A380 and Boeing 777 aircraft. The airline is also upgrading its fleet with a multi-billion-dollar retrofit program. To date, 36 fully refurbished aircraft, including 26 A380s and 10 Boeing 777s, have been introduced, featuring upgraded interiors and the popular Premium Economy cabin.

Adding to its advancements, Emirates recently welcomed its first Airbus A350 aircraft, which is now serving routes to Edinburgh, Kuwait, and Bahrain, with plans to expand its deployment to other destinations soon.

This bold initiative not only highlights Emirates’ dedication to aviation excellence but also reinforces its commitment to global partnerships, solidifying its role as a key supporter of the world’s most celebrated sports teams.
