Emirates has unveiled its Emirates FA Cup-themed A380 superjumbo.
For its maiden voyage, the specially decked out Emirates FA Cup A380 flew to London Heathrow from Dubai, operating as EK001. The aircraft was met by former England and Liverpool goalkeeping legend, David James who was pictured welcoming the aircraft with the trophy.
Sir Tim Clark, President of Emirates Airline, said: “We are incredibly proud of our partnership with the FA Cup, the oldest association football competition in the world. Being the title sponsor for the Emirates FA Cup along with our sponsorship of Arsenal shows our deep commitment to the United Kingdom and football. The Emirates FA Cup A380 will literally bring the iconic cup to a fan base spanning the globe. It is exciting for us to connect both football and aviation fans with their passions in this unique way.”
The Emirates FA Cup emblazoned aircraft will return to Dubai as EK030 and then continue on to Seoul, Madrid, Paris and eventually visit the 37 destinations served by the Emirates A380 worldwide.
