Formula 1 announce Qatar Airways as new Global Airline Partner in multi-year deal
Formula 1 and Qatar Airways have announced yesterday a multi-year partnership that will see the recently voted Airline of the Year become Formula 1’s Global Airline Partner – and sponsor three Grands Prix in 2023.
Qatar Airways will become the main airline sponsor of Formula 1 starting this season, replacing regional rival Emirates as the sport’s official airline.
The partnership, which was announced yesterday at a Motorsport Festival in Doha, will see the airline take the title sponsorship of three races this season: the Formula 1 Qatar Airways Qatar Grand Prix – which will return to the F1 calendar this year on October 6-8 – as well as the Formula 1 Qatar Airways Gran Premio del Made in Italy e dell'Emilia-Romagna on May 19-21, and the Formula 1 Qatar Airways Hungarian Grand Prix on July 21-23.
Check out the Formula 1 calendar for 2023, including the inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix.
The deal also includes trackside and digital branding inventory that will be showcased to F1’s global audience.
As part of the partnership, our business partner Qatar Airways will offer fans the chance to buy a limited number of travel packages to select Grands Prix so they can witness the entertainment and spectacle of Formula 1 via ourselves as an IATA-accredited partner of the airline. For these races, including the returning Qatar Grand Prix, fans will be able to purchase return flights to a Grand Prix destination and race tickets in one package.
Round 1 kicks off in Bahrain from 03rd to 05th March, in Bahrain.
