Record-breaking Formula 1 livery unveiled on Etihad’s Dreamliner

Etihad Airways has unveiled a striking new livery carrying the distinctive branding of partner McLaren Racing, marking the first time a Formula 1 team has been featured on a wide-body aircraft. The specially designed aircraft is confirmed by Etihad to celebrate the partnership between Etihad Airways and McLaren Racing, creating ‘one of the most prominent motorsport liveries ever carried by a commercial aircraft and a new way for guests and fans to connect with McLaren Racing.’

The design has transformed one of Etihad’s flagship Boeing 787 Dreamliners with McLaren’s distinctive identity and papaya colour. The aircraft will take the partnership around the world as it operates across Etihad’s extensive global network, connecting Abu Dhabi with destinations from Dublin, Milan and Vienna to Bali, Bangkok and Delhi. The livery was revealed in a record-breaking event at the Etihad Engineering facility in Abu Dhabi, featuring the record title for the largest single piece kabuki reveal, independently verified by Guinness World Records.
