At Silverstone, the unmistakable sound of Formula 1 engines is rivalled only by another symbol of elite performance. Sleek private jets glide onto the tarmac in effortless succession, their polished fuselages shimmering beneath the morning sun as drivers, team principals, celebrities and global business leaders descend on Britain’s most iconic circuit. For many, race weekend begins long before the lights go out, where every detail, from the aircraft to the arrival, reflects the same pursuit of excellence that defines Formula 1 itself.
Now, two worlds built on precision, innovation and extraordinary experiences have come together in a landmark multi-year partnership. Flexjet has been named the Official Private Aviation Supplier of Formula 1®, bringing together one of the world’s leading luxury private aviation companies with the pinnacle of international motorsport.
The partnership officially launches ahead of this weekend’s FORMULA 1 PIRELLI BRITISH GRAND PRIX 2026 at Silverstone. As one of the world’s foremost private aviation providers, Flexjet operates a global fleet of more than 340 ultramodern aircraft, including one of the industry’s largest and most refined collections of large-cabin private jets.
Throughout the Formula 1 season, Flexjet will provide seamless international connectivity for VIPs, executives and teams travelling across the global championship calendar, elevating the travel experience both on the ground and in the air. Flights will also utilise Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) as part of Flexjet’s comprehensive sustainability programme, reflecting both organisations’ commitment to innovation and responsible operations.
“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,” said Kenn Ricci, Chairman of Flexjet. “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.”
Beyond transportation, the collaboration unlocks a new level of access. Flexjet’s fractional aircraft Owners will enjoy exceptional hospitality and exclusive behind-the-scenes experiences at selected Grand Prix™ events through the brand’s renowned Red Label® programme, extending the luxury of the cabin directly into the heart of Formula 1.
The partnership will also see the launch of a dedicated digital content series celebrating the shared DNA of both brands, exploring the craftsmanship, engineering excellence, innovation and uncompromising attention to detail that unite the worlds of private aviation and elite motorsport.
Stefano Domenicali, President and CEO of Formula 1®, said: “As a global championship we are constantly on the move, engaging with our fans, partners, promoters, and stakeholders all around the world, 365 days a year. Having partners that support us on our mission to deliver the best sport, and an unforgettable show is vital to our ongoing success, so I am delighted to welcome Flexjet as a new Official Supplier. We share a deep passion and commitment to precision and innovation, and a dedication to providing exceptional experiences.”
As Formula 1 continues to redefine the global sporting landscape, its partnership with Flexjet signals more than a new supplier agreement. It is the coming together of two brands where engineering, precision and impeccable service are not aspirations but expectations, ensuring that every journey to the grid is as extraordinary as the race itself.
