Emirates has unveiled its branded VIP Lounge at Madrid’s Santiago Bernabeu Stadium less than four months after signing a five-year shirt sponsorship with Real Madrid football club.
The lounge, modelled after the cabin of a Boeing 777, can host more than 200 guests during match days.
Interior features such as windows and space illumination mimic the experience of walking through an Emirates aircraft.
The Emirates VIP Lounge will be open to its invited guests an hour before and after matches and is situated just below the VIP boxes.
Real Madrid has been part of Emirates’ impressive sponsorship portfolio since 2011.
Emirates also sponsors the Barcelona Open tennis tournament in Spain, a deal which runs until 2018.
Emirates currently offers 21 weekly flights to Spain – a double daily flight to Madrid and a daily flight to Barcelona, which will be upgraded to an A380 operation on February 1, 2014.
