Emirates brings taste of Wimbledon onboard with dessert and IFE offerings
Emirates is bringing the iconic British strawberry to its dessert menu during The Championships this summer
Emirates is the Official Airline Partner of The Championships, Wimbledon and is serving up Wimbledon inspired dishes in every cabin on all flights between Dubai and the U.K. from June 29 to July 12, in honor of this year's event.
The iconic British strawberry will take a starring role in the desserts, Emirates said in its June 29 press release. Some examples of the treats passengers can expect include honey cake served with strawberry compote and clotted cream in First Class, a strawberry tart served with pistachio sauce and strawberry yogurt in Business Class and Premium Economy and a cream cheese mousse topped with strawberry compote and hazelnut streusel in Economy.
Passengers can enjoy a bowl of strawberries and cream or sip on a Pimm’s cocktail in the A380 Onboard Lounge, and snack on tennis-themed pastries. The Emirates Lounges in Dubai and the U.K. will also serve quintessentially British menu items such as fish and chips and coronation chicken to celebrate Wimbledon season at every point of the journey.
Sports fans traveling during the tournament can watch live coverage of The Championships via Sport 24 and Sport 24 Extra on all flights, alongside thousands of hours of additional entertainment content.
Passengers in First Class will also be gifted Emirates-branded Wimbledon 2026 seasonal towels, produced by Christy, the Official Towel Supplier of The Championships.
