The Formula 1® Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona got off to a spectacular start yesterday when Emirates’ newest A380 aircraft performed a low level flypast over the race track while watched by thousands of spectators.

The special flypast at the start of the race was to mark the occasion of Emirates being the Title Sponsor of the Spanish Grand Prix.

Taking off from Barcelona Airport at 1400hrs, the A380 flew past the race track at 1000 feet and at a speed of 180 knots. Piloting the A380 was Captain Patrick De Roeck supported by First Officers, Abdulla Alyammahi, and Sergio Puchol.

Emirates has been an F1 Global Partner since 2013, and during last year’s Spanish Grand Prix the partnership was renewed until the end of 2022.
