Etihad presents F1-branded plane
9 Jan 2009
Etihad Airways has unveiled a Formula One-branded aircraft that is being launched to celebrate this year's inaugural Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
The airline's stylish new plane has a colour scheme that merges from white at the nose to red towards the tail, as well as F1 logos on the engine and a chequered flag design on the tail fin.
It will be deployed on Etihad's services from Abu Dhabi to London, Sydney, New York and Toronto to promote the Formula One Grand Prix, of which the airline is a sponsor.
The race will be held in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on 1 November.
Etihad vice president of product and marketing Peter Baumgartner said: 'The inaugural 2009 Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is only ten months away and we are delighted to fly our own F1-themed aircraft across the world to build awareness and generate excitement to what will be a thrilling event for Abu Dhabi and the UAE.'
The airline has also launched an Airbus A320 aircraft painted in the livery of a Formula One racing car, which is being used to fly to every destination in its short-haul network, including Amman, Cairo and Beirut.
