Emirates extends US Open partnership for 14th year with bigger fan experiences

Dubai: Emirates has renewed its role as the Official Airline of the US Open Grand Slam for the 14th consecutive year, reaffirming its long-standing commitment to world-class tennis and to creating exceptional fan experiences.

The Dubai-based airline is stepping up its presence at this year’s tournament, running from August 24 to September 7 in New York, with premium hospitality, interactive fan zones, community outreach programmes, and exclusive onboard offerings designed around the championship.

Luxury hospitality at Arthur Ashe Stadium

One of the highlights of Emirates’ US Open presence will once again be its signature hospitality suite at Arthur Ashe Stadium. Spanning 1,358 square feet, the luxury space is among the largest and most sought-after venues at the tournament.

The suite offers unmatched views of the court and will host tennis enthusiasts, celebrities, sporting legends, and invited guests throughout the two-week championship.

Visitors will enjoy curated dining, exclusive beverages, and a premium atmosphere designed to reflect Emirates’ brand of hospitality.

‘Force for Good’ community outreach

Beyond the courtside luxury, Emirates is also expanding its community engagement through its ‘Force for Good’ initiative, launched in 2024 with the USTA Foundation.

The programme aims to empower young players and improve access to quality tennis facilities across the United States.

Bringing the US Open onboard

For fans travelling during the tournament, Emirates will make sure the action is never out of reach. The airline’s award-winning ice entertainment system will stream live US Open matches through Sport 24 on more than 1,000 flights weekly.

Passengers can also enjoy replays, documentaries, and more than 50 tennis films across 40 channels.

On the flagship A380, fans can even catch key matches on the big screen in the Onboard Lounge — an experience designed for die-hard tennis followers.

To complement the atmosphere, Emirates will serve US Open-inspired menus and drinks on select flights between Dubai and the United States.

Exclusive rewards for Skywards members

Emirates Skywards members will also get closer to the action. Through Skywards Exclusives, the airline’s 35 million loyalty members can redeem Miles or bid for tickets to top sporting events, including all four Grand Slam tournaments.

Over the years, more than 20 million Miles have been redeemed for US Open tickets. The highest-ever bid came in at 744,000 Miles for a pair of courtside seats at the Men’s Final — a testament to the tournament’s global appeal.
