Real Madrid fly to Riyadh on Emirates A380 with bespoke livery
Emirates, the official main sponsor of Real Madrid, welcomed the Spanish football club onboard a specially chartered A380 flight from Madrid to Riyadh yesterday.
The A380 aircraft featured a new livery with some of the club’s top players.
The club made their way to the Saudi capital ahead of the Spanish Super Cup semi-final match versus Valencia on 11 January 2023.
The bespoke decal includes a group shot of Nacho Fernández, Dani Carvajal, Thibaut Courtois, Karim Benzema (center), Luka Modrić, Tony Kroos and Vini Jr and covers more than 125 square metres on each side of the aircraft. The decal will remain on the A380 aircraft for five months with scheduled services around the world including London Heathrow, New York and Melbourne.
Emirates has been the Official Main Sponsor of Real Madrid since 2013 and the first decal featuring the club players first appeared on an Emirates A380 in 2015. The airline recently announced it will remain the Official Main Sponsor and Official Airline Partner of Real Madrid until 2026.
