In celebration of the UAE's 50th anniversary, Emirates has unveiled a custom design that will be featured on the aircraft.
The 'United Arab Emirates 50' design themed decals will be placed on both sides in English and in Arabic.
The 50 on the design represents the UAE's history with the swirls and curves demonstrating the accomplishments achieved over the course of 50 years.
The official year of the 50th logo has also been added to the 50 and can be seen in the zero.
The first aircraft with the new design will fly to Frankfurt this week with more aircraft's carrying the design over the course of the next month.
The decals require 3 days and around 14 staff to install them at the Emirates Engineering Aircraft Appearance Centre.
His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates Airline and Group said, "The Golden Jubilee themed aircraft are inspired by the vision, determination and passion of the UAE’s founding fathers and the incredible 50-year journey since they started to shape a nation that has captured the world’s imagination - from its rapid progress to become one of the most connected countries in the world, to being one of just a few nations to launch a space mission. The next 50 years will continue to be driven by the same ambitious spirit to build a better and sustainable future for humanity, and the UAE will lead the charge as it evolves its national capabilities, champions innovation, and strengthens its position as a progressive world leader across a spectrum of areas.”
