Cape Town - Emirates recently revealed its ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 themed Emirates A380 livery in the build-up to one of the world’s most anticipated sporting event this year.
The attention-grabbing ICC men’s Cricket World Cup 2019 decal covers a substantial area of 694sqm on the Emirates A380 and includes player silhouettes batting and bowling against a backdrop of vibrant shades of purple and pink. The decal was installed on A6-EOH, which has flown to London Heathrow in the UK - the host nation of the ICC men’s Cricket World Cup 2019.
Over the next few months, the aircraft is expected to fly to other UK points including Manchester and London Gatwick. Cricket fans and aviation enthusiasts alike can also look out for the aircraft landing and taking off at OR Tambo International Airport, in Mumbai, as well as Emirates destinations served by the A380 in both Australia and New Zealand.
The reveal served as an opportunity to bring the tournament to life for the nations competing in the World Cup and for cricket fans across the globe.

The airline will also be flying most of the national teams to the event as they get ready to compete for the trophy and title of world champions of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2019 in England and Wales.
