Emirates, the Official Airline Partner and Principal Partner of AC Milan, has taken its partnership to new heights, quite literally. To commemorate the Rossoneri’s 125 years of football excellence, the airline has unveiled a striking livery on its iconic Airbus A380, showcasing AC Milan’s legacy in bold red and black.
A Legacy of Partnership
The Emirates A380 now dons AC Milan’s trademark red and black stripes, inspired by the club’s crest and heritage. On one side of the fuselage, the Milan 125th Anniversary logo is prominently displayed alongside the club badge, which features Milan’s flag, the acronym "ACM," and the club’s founding year. The other side features a dynamic silhouette of a player in an AC Milan Emirates “Fly Better” jersey mid-kick, capturing the energy and ambition that defines the partnership.
This visual masterpiece was meticulously designed, produced, and installed by Emirates’ in-house Engineering Aircraft Appearance Centre, showcasing the airline's dedication to craftsmanship and detail.
Taking the Celebration Global
Starting November 26, the AC Milan-themed A380 will soar across Emirates’ vast network, offering fans worldwide a chance to catch this flying tribute to the Rossoneri. The livery symbolizes not just a partnership but a celebration of AC Milan’s impact on global football culture.
125 Years of Innovation, Tradition, and Excellence
The relationship between Emirates and AC Milan dates back to September 2007 when the airline first joined as a sponsor. It quickly elevated to a Top Institutional Sponsor, culminating in the prestigious jersey sponsorship during the 2010/2011 season. Since then, Emirates has been more than just a sponsor—it has become a part of AC Milan’s journey, supporting over 1,000 goals scored by players proudly donning the Emirates logo.
As the AC Milan A380 begins its journey across the skies, it serves as a testament to the enduring power of football to unite and inspire. This collaboration between Emirates and AC Milan stands as a beacon of tradition and modernity, a perfect blend of legacy and ambition, and a reminder that the best partnerships transcend time and space.
