Building on the excitement and fervour for the return of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, Emirates has revealed its own themed A380 attire,  taking place for the first time in the UAE and Oman.

After a game of mini-cricket umpired by Indian international cricketer Shikhar Dhawan, the newly emblazoned aircraft was beckoned out as the ‘newest player’ by him and over 100 Emirates Engineering employees, many of whom were involved in the installation of the special decal and form part of the nine cricket teams at the airline’s engineering centre. The ICC Men’s T20 Cricket World Cup trophy also made a surprise debut after the aircraft was unveiled.

Divisional Senior Vice President, Corporate Communications, Marketing and Brand for Emirates Airline, Boutros Boutros said, “We are excited that the iconic ICC Men’s T20 Cricket World Cup is taking place here in our home, the UAE, and we’re proud as the official airline and partner to bring in teams from all over the world to compete in what is going to be a truly memorable event fuelled by the passion of fans.

Today’s livery unveiling is just one way we are bringing the flavour of the sport to fans around the world who are feverishly looking forward to thrilling cricket action after a long hiatus, and we hope to fly this aircraft to as many cricket loving nations as possible.”
