Formula 1 Accelerates Global Connectivity Through Multi-Year Flexjet Partnership

Formula 1 has officially announced a new partnership with Flexjet, appointing the global leader in private aviation as the sport’s Official Private Aviation Supplier.

This partnership commences immediately, ahead of the 2026 British Grand Prix, and is designed to address the complex logistics of a sport that conducts 24 races across 21 countries. By integrating Flexjet’s fleet of over 340 ultramodern aircraft, Formula 1 aims to enhance the efficiency and flexibility of travel for its championship personnel and key executives as they navigate an increasingly demanding global schedule.

The partnership leverages Formula 1’s expansive platform, which reaches an international audience of more than 830 million fans. In return, Flexjet will offer its premium clientele exclusive, behind-the-scenes access to selected Grand Prix events, integrating these opportunities into its signature Red Label offering.

Commenting on the partnership, president and CEO of Formula 1, Stefano Domenicali, emphasised the operational necessity of the deal.

“Every day of the year, Formula 1 is on the move, connecting with our fans, promoters and stakeholders, and working together to deliver something truly incredible.”

“Having strong partners by our side is central to our success as we continue to grow and create unforgettable moments for hundreds of millions of fans around the globe.

“Flexjet is a perfect fit for us as our new Official Supplier given the shared passion for precision, innovation and totally unique experiences,” Domenicali stated.

Chairman of Flexjet, Kenn Ricci, highlighted the aesthetic and functional commonalities between the two industries.

“This is a natural alignment of two worlds in which both luxury aircraft and fast cars require absolute precision and flawless coordination to achieve success.”

“As we look to the future alongside our partners at LVMH, cementing our longstanding ties with the world of motor racing allows us to deliver unparalleled, ultra-luxury experiences, both on the ground and in the air,” Ricci said.

Beyond travel logistics, the two organisations have committed to a collaborative digital content series that explores the technical synergies between aviation and motorsport, focusing on engineering precision and the pursuit of peak performance.

A core component of this agreement is the alignment on responsible mobility. As Formula 1 works toward its goal of becoming Net Zero by 2030, the partnership mandates the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel certificates (SAFc) for all flights operated under the agreement.
