Qatar Airways concluded an unforgettable Qatar Grand Prix weekend, delivering a vibrant showcase of sport, innovation, and culture both on and off the track. The airline and Title Partner of Formula 1® extends its congratulations to Max Verstappen as the winner of the Qatar Airways Qatar Grand Prix.

Ahead of Saturday’s Sprint race, thousands witnessed the Qatar Airways celebratory flypast over the Lusail International Circuit, after media and invited guests experienced a special preview of the airline’s new F1®-themed livery designed by Swizz Beatz. Media were invited to experience the flypast from inside the aircraft which was equipped by Starlink high-speed “gate-to-gate” Wi-Fi which provided the media live broadcast capability onboard the flight as it flew above the Lusail International Circuit.

Virgin Atlantic, the airline known for its stylish design and flair, is bringing back one of Britain’s most iconic looks, the navy ‘Fly Virgin Atlantic’ jumper made famous by Princess Diana in the 1990s. Sales from the launch will help change children’s lives around the world, as part of Virgin Atlantic’s ongoing partnership with Save the Children.

Timed to the 30th anniversary of Princess Diana wearing the original on 20 November 1995, the replica crewneck sweatshirt blends British style, nostalgia and purpose. An initial first drop of 250 jumpers will be available exclusively via Virgin Atlantic’s Retail Therapy online store, operated by Tourvest.
