Hahnair to join Visa Cash App RB Formula 1 Team
Formula One's Faenza-based outfit, the RB has announced a multi-year agreement with Hahnair, a leading executive charter airline, that will join the team as its private aviation partner as of next season.
With the charter airline joining forces with the Italian team as from the start of the 2025 season, the Hahnair logo will feature on the VCARB-02 mirrors next season.
After the 2024 became the longest ever F1 season with 24 races, the following year is also set to feature the same number of rounds. It also means that time saved travelling across continents is an important component of a team’s state of readiness to race. RB hopes that its new partner, Hahnair will play a critical role in optimising the team's logistics throughout the season.
Hahnair is renowned for its charter flights that cater to the unique needs of its passengers, running a modern fleet, with the very latest technology ensuring maximum energy efficiency. As from 2025 it will use SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) to further reduce its environmental footprint, aligning with Formula 1’s own investment in SAF as part of the sport’s commitment to reach Net Zero by 2030.
"We are excited to partner with Hahnair as we navigate through this extensive racing calendar," said Laurent Mekies, Team Principal of VCARB. "Their specialised services will greatly support our logistical capabilities, ensuring that our team operates at peak efficiency throughout the season."
Peter Bayer, CEO of VCARB further adds “The partnership will enable the Team to efficiently manage travel logistics, not only between races but also addressing the challenges posed by the distance between our aero engineers based in the UK and our factory in Italy."
“As we embark on this partnership with the VCARB Team, we look forward to providing exceptional travel solutions that meet their unique logistical demands," said Daniel Rudas, General Manager & COO at Hahnair. "We will ensure that the Team can focus on their core business while we handle their challenging travel needs."
