"Nothing brings people together like their love and passion for sports. The US Open is one of the most important sporting events in the world and we are thrilled to be back in-person," said Essa Sulaiman Ahmad, Emirates’ Divisional Vice President, USA and Canada. "We are committed to offering our U.S. customers the best experience both in flight and at the tournament, allowing them to rediscover their love of tennis and travel alike. Thanks to our ongoing partnership with USTA, we’re confident this year’s tournament will be better than ever," he added.

Throughout the US Open, Emirates will offer a variety of activities to engage with tennis fans both in-person and around the globe. The Emirates suite, one of the most glamorous and sought-after hospitality experiences by celebrities and fans alike will bring to life the ultra-premium experience one can expect onboard an Emirates flight. Fans can also unwind at the Emirates Sport Café enjoying an assortment of food and beverage offerings. The airline is working with USTA to follow COVID-19 guidelines laid down by local authorities, including masking and enhanced cleaning, in order to offer fans and guests a safe and stress-free US Open experience.

For fans unable to attend the US Open in person, Emirates will also be extending the excitement with a range of activities on its social media platforms and through The Mixer, a virtual talk show organized by the USTA where the host will engage with fans and special guests on a variety of topics ranging from the atmosphere at the US Open night matches to the highlights of the Emirates suite life.
