Emirates has launched a new A380 livery that shines a spotlight on the Emirates Airline Foundation’s impactful humanitarian work. This vibrant design is set to enhance awareness of the Foundation’s mission to improve the lives of children worldwide.
The A380 livery features playful elements from the Emirates Airline Foundation’s logo, with pastel stars in light green, warm orange, baby blue, and soft pink adorning the fuselage. The bold message “Help to support children in need” underscores the Foundation’s dedication to transforming the lives of disadvantaged children. The engine cowls are painted in warm orange, symbolizing a hopeful future for the children supported by the Foundation.
This new livery marks a significant step in spreading the Foundation’s message, with the aircraft making its debut flight to Johannesburg, South Africa, where the Foundation supports key projects.
