Emirates hosted Hollywood actor Brad Pitt during the finals weekend of the Roland-Garros tennis tournament, the airline said on Saturday, as it showcased its hospitality offerings at one of its long-standing global sports sponsorship events.

According to Emirates, Pitt attended the tournament in Paris as a guest of the airline and was welcomed by Sir Tim Clark, president of Emirates Airline. The actor was hosted in the airline's exclusive hospitality facilities at the French Open venue, where guests were offered premium dining and viewing experiences during the closing stages of the tournament.

The Dubai-based carrier said Pitt experienced a range of its signature hospitality services, including afternoon tea, a champagne tasting, and its onboard-inspired caviar service, while watching matches on the clay courts of Roland-Garros.

Emirates maintained hospitality facilities throughout the tournament, including the Emirates Lounge in the Hospitality Village and the Salon Philippe-Chatrier overlooking the main court. The airline said it welcomed guests from across its international sports sponsorship portfolio during the event.

The appearance underscores Emirates' continued investment in sports marketing and sponsorships, which form a key component of the airline's global brand strategy. Emirates has long been associated with major international sporting events, including tennis tournaments, football competitions, and rugby events.

Roland-Garros, one of tennis's four Grand Slam tournaments, attracts leading players, corporate partners, and high-profile guests from around the world each year. Emirates has been among the tournament's prominent commercial partners, using the event as a platform to engage customers and stakeholders.
