Dubai, UAE 20 June 2025: Emirates and the ATP have renewed their iconic global partnership, with the airline continuing as Premier Partner and Official Airline of the ATP Tour through 2030.

Through exceptional hospitality and strategic on-ground activations at the world’s most prestigious tournaments, we’re strengthening engagement with our loyal customer base to remain top-of-mind. We’re committed to working closely with the ATP and leveraging this partnership further as we continue expanding Emirates’ global tennis footprint.”
Daniele Sano, ATP Chief Business Officer, said: “Emirates has been a constant presence on the ATP Tour for over a decade, and this renewal is a big moment for both of us. It speaks to the strength of our relationship and everything we’ve built together. Right now, the Tour is in a really exciting place. We’re seeing record attendance, growing commercial interest, and real momentum across the board. We’re proud to keep building with a partner, and a truly premium brand, that shares our belief in the future of the sport.”
