The iconic clay courts of Roland-Garros will once again host Emirates as the airline returns to deliver an unparalleled experience for tennis enthusiasts in 2026. Over the course of two weeks, the tournament promises a vibrant fusion of top-tier tennis, cultural richness, and culinary excellence, all enhanced by Emirates’ renowned hospitality.
Unmatched Hospitality and Exclusive Access
Emirates is set to offer exclusive hospitality experiences through its two premium lounges at Roland-Garros. The Emirates Lounge, located in the Hospitality Village, and the Salon Philippe-Chatrier are designed to provide guests with breathtaking views of the matches while indulging in the airline’s signature service. These spaces serve as premium vantage points from which guests can enjoy the tournament, alongside some of the world’s greatest athletes who frequent the Emirates Lounge.
As part of its expansive sponsorship portfolio, Emirates continues to associate with globally celebrated sports, ranging from tennis and rugby to football and horse racing, marking its presence in diverse athletic arenas.
Interactive Engagement Through Technology
The Roland-Garros app offers fans a unique opportunity to engage with the tournament through an interactive Emirates game. Users can virtually pilot an Emirates aircraft over Australia’s iconic landmarks, such as the Sydney Opera House and Uluru, collecting bonus rings for a chance to win tickets to the 2027 Roland-Garros event. The app also features the Emirates A380 aircraft adorned with special livery, celebrating all four Grand Slam tournaments, enhancing the digital experience for users.
In-Flight Celebrations and Entertainment
Emirates is bringing the spirit of Roland-Garros to its flights between Dubai and France until June 7. Passengers can enjoy specially curated menus featuring seasonal dishes and tennis-themed desserts, with every cabin showcasing Roland-Garros headrest covers to immerse travelers in the tournament atmosphere. Additionally, Emirates’ award-winning inflight entertainment system, ice, will broadcast the tournament live, allowing passengers worldwide to follow the matches as they happen.
Engaging the Local Community
In a bid to connect with the community, Emirates is participating in Yannick Noah Day at Roland-Garros. The airline is inviting young athletes from the Attrap’la Balle initiative to explore the stadium, offering them a glimpse behind the scenes. Once the tournament is underway, these young athletes will have the opportunity to participate in the coin toss at the Trophée des Légendes contest, meet tennis legends, and interact with Emirates’ cabin crew.
Through these ventures, Emirates not only enhances the fan experience but also fosters a deeper connection with the sport, its athletes, and the community, ensuring that Roland-Garros 2026 is a memorable event for all involved.
