Qatar Airways to Be Official Airline of Formula 1 for 2024 Season

BY GEORGE MWANGI 07/05/2023 AGO 7 COMMENTS

Formula 1 has announced the racing calendar for the 2024 FIA Formula One World Championship after receiving approval from the World Motor Sport Council. The 2024 season will again feature Qatar Airways as Formula 1's official airline and global partner.

 

In February 2023, Formula 1 established a five-year partnership with Qatar Airways that would see the airline sponsor all races starting in the 2023 season. The global partnership also involves Qatar Airways being the title sponsor of three races in 2023. It is currently unknown if title sponsorship for these three races will continue for the next four seasons.

For the 2024 season, Formula 1 will have 24 races across 21 countries and five continents. The global nature of the racing calendar reflects the growing popularity of the sport among audiences worldwide. Qatar Airways sees Formula 1 as a way to expand the global connectivity that it offers by serving more than 150 countries on six continents.

 

Akbar Al Baker, CEO of Qatar Airways, said about the partnership in February: "The best partnerships thrive because of mutual values. Both Qatar Airways and Formula 1 are global brands that share a passion for innovation, precision, and luxury. As a brand, we believe in the power of sports to unite people, and as such, we have been selective with picking the most thrilling sporting events and sponsoring a variety of new and prominent sporting initiatives."

Stefano Domenicali, President and CEO of Formula 1, added in February: "As the pinnacle of motorsport, it makes sense for Formula 1 to partner with the World's Best Airline, Qatar Airways. We are two brands committed to delivering the best experiences to our fans and customers, and our combined global reach makes for a perfect match. We are delighted to welcome Qatar Airways as our Global Airline Partner."

The 2024 season will feature three races in the U.S. and two in Italy. Formula 1 made changes to the 2024 schedule to make the sport more sustainable, reduce logistical burdens, and provide a better experience for fans. These changes include organizing races by continent and hosting races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia on Saturdays to accommodate fans that celebrate Ramadan.
