PELÉ SIGNS AIRCRAFT

Just hours before the first World Cup match kicked off in Brazil, Emirates unveiled the first Boeing 777-300ER to feature the distinguishable signature of Emirates’ global ambassador and three times World Cup winner, Pelé.

The first Emirates Pelé-ane connected football fans from Dubai to São Paolo. The 350-seat aircraft now has a creative design, specific to the FIFA World Cup, emblazoned on the fuselage along with the recognisable signature of the legendary Brazilian football great. Two further Boeing 777 Pelé-ane’s were unveiled on the day of the opening match and one Airbus A380 launched shortly afterwards. 115 Boeing 777 from the Emirates fleet, which will fly football fans to Brazil, will also carry a large 2014 FIFA World Cup logo.
