The dynamics of multi-component (vectorial) coupled Airy beams will be reported. In the linear propagation regime a complete analytic solution describes breather like propagation of the several components featuring non-diffracting self-accelerating Airy behavior [*]. The superposition of several beams with different input properties opens the possibility to design more complex non-diffracting propagation scenarios. In the strongly nonlinear regime the dynamics remains qualitatively robust as is revealed by direct numerical simulations. Due to the Kerr effect the emission of solitonic breathers, whose coupling period is compatible with the remaining Airy-like beams, is observed. The results of this study are relevant for the description of photonic and plasmonic beams networks propagating in coupled planar waveguides as well as for birefrigent or multi-wavelengths beams.
