FAI Aviation Group has renewed its partnership with McLaren Racing. Most recently, FAI organised the trip which departed from Farnborough airport, Hampshire, the UK's first carbon neutral airport, to Bahrain International airport for the first race of the Formula 1 season, the Bahrain Grand Prix.

The multi-year McLaren partnership enables FAI to raise its profile within the Formula 1 community. FAI is represented on the rear floor section of the McLaren MCL35M race cars for the 2021 Formula 1 season.

FAI group chairman and founder Siegfried Axtmann says: “We are delighted to renew our partnership with McLaren Racing supporting the team, enabling it to fly to its itineraries in COVID-compliant aircraft around the world. We look forward to further promoting our services within the Formula 1 community and once again serving the McLaren team as its official aviation provider during the season.”

McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown adds: “McLaren Racing and FAI share a commitment to excellence, and we are thrilled to renew this partnership with the leading aviation service provider. This partnership with FAI will continue to assist and enable us to fly our team safely across the globe for the 2021 Formula 1 season.”

Last month, FAI was honoured with the Pandemic Response Special Award at the Middle East Annual Aviation Achievement Awards. It also operates a carbon neutral FBO at its Nuremberg, Germany headquarters.
