Hahnair partners with F1 team VCARB

December 9, 2024

As part of a multiyear agreement, Hahnair is set to support the team’s global travel logistics for its upcoming Grand Prix events and beyond.

Laurent Mekies, team principal of VCARB; Daniel Rudas, general manager and COO of Hahnair; Yuki Tsunoda, VCARB official driver; Joshua Carrera-Sondermann, F/O and F1 project manager, Hahnair; Liam Lawson, VCARB official driver; and Peter Bayer, CEO of VCARB.

From 2025, German executive charter airline Hahnair will begin a multiyear agreement with the Visa Cash App RB (VCARB) Formula 1 team as its official private aviation partner.

With 24 Grand Prix events scheduled for 2025, efficient travel is a requirement for the VCARB team. Hahnair's commitment to quality and attention to detail will enhance the team's logistics during the season.

Hahnair offers tailored charter flights, operating a modern fleet of Citation jets. From 2025, the airline will also incorporate sustainable aviation fuel to minimise environmental impact, aligning with Formula 1's net zero commitment by 2030.

“We are excited to partner with Hahnair as we navigate through this extensive racing calendar,” says Laurent Mekies, team principal of VCARB. “Its specialised services will greatly support our logistical capabilities, ensuring that our team operates at peak efficiency throughout the season.”

Peter Bayer, CEO of VCARB, 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.”
