Emirates on track for 2014 Commonwealth Games
Emirates has been unveiled as an official partner of the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games and the official airline of the Queen’s Baton Relay.
The partnership will play a key role in profiling the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games on a global stage.
Richard Jewsbury, Emirates senior vice president, commercial operations Europe and Russian Federation, said, “These partnerships are particularly significant for Emirates as we currently fly to 23 Commonwealth countries, enabling us to connect athletes and spectators from across the globe to the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow through our hub in Dubai."
Emirates is already a significant supporter of high profile sport in the UK and internationally with a prestigious portfolio which includes the FIFA World Cup, the 2012 Ryder Cup, the International Cricket Council and Arsenal Football Club at Emirates Stadium, as well as the Emirates Airline Glasgow Rugby Sevens.
The partnership with Glasgow 2014 will see the airline play a key role in the Queen’s Baton Relay, the prelude to the Commonwealth Games during which a message of goodwill from HM The Queen is taken through the 71 nations and territories which will be sending athletes to compete in Glasgow.
Emirates has also secured naming rights to Emirates Arena, Glasgow’s world-class sporting facility.
Home to the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome, Emirates Arena will host Glasgow 2014’s track cycling and badminton events
