DOHA- Earlier this year, leading Gulf carrier Qatar Airways (QR) entered into a fresh agreement with Formula One (F1), taking over as the official airline partner from its Gulf rival Emirates (EK).
To mark this newly established collaboration, Qatar Airways unveiled a unique Formula One F1 special livery on its flagship Boeing 777 aircraft, precisely on the 777-300ER.
Qatar Airways F1 Livery
After much anticipation, the awaited unveiling finally occurred a few days ago, as the airline released a brief video across all its social media channels, even though the aircraft had been adorned with the new colors for the past two weeks.
In contrast to the initial widespread assumption that the special livery would adorn the airline’s flagship Airbus A350 or the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, it was, in fact, one of its Boeing 777-300ERs that was selected.
With registration A7-BEL, this Boeing widebody had last operated under the standard Qatar Airways livery on July 18th before undergoing a two-week temporary grounding in Doha to apply the new sporting livery.
Notably, this specific aircraft was previously among the few in the airline’s fleet that had been emblazoned with the FIFA World Cup logo on its rear section from October to February during Qatar’s hosting of the global sporting event. Hence, the choice of A7-BEL for the special livery might not come as a surprise.
In finer detail, the distinctive livery, named the ‘Official Global Airline Partner of Formula 1’ special livery, showcases the Formula 1 logo on the rear of the fuselage. At the same time, a driver is depicted on the forward portion just before the Qatar Airways branding.
The airline’s signature color scheme of purple, maroon, and black was meticulously employed to ensure that the Formula 1 elements of the new livery harmoniously blended with the standard Qatar Airways livery.
