Dubai-based Emirates has unveiled the first of its aircraft that will feature the International Cricket Council (ICC) Cricket World Cup 2015 logo.

The Emirates Airbus A380 recently set off to Australia and New Zealand, and is the first of a number of “specially-dressed” Emirates aircraft that will fly around the globe, celebrating this major event with cricket-lovers and uniting fans around the world.

Emirates has been the official partner of the ICC since 2007 and all its major tournaments including the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015.

In partnership with the ICC, Emirates also sponsors the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Umpires and Match Referees.

Other Emirates sponsorships include Title Sponsor of the Emirates Airline Twenty20, which brings successful County Cricket Clubs to Dubai, UAE, to compete for the coveted Emirates T20 Championship. In the UK, Emirates has partnerships with Durham County Cricket Club and Lancashire County Cricket Club, including naming rights to both clubs’ playing grounds and their respective T20 representative teams. – TradeArabia News Service
