DOHA, QATAR -30th November 2025: Qatar Airways – the F1 Global Partner and Title Sponsor of the Formula 1 Qatar Airways Qatar Grand Prix – in collaboration with global creative visionary Swizz Beatz and The Dean Collection, unveiled the first-ever Swizz Beatz–designed F1 aircraft today with a powerful fly-past over Lusail International Circuit during day one of the Qatar Grand Prix.
The custom Boeing 777-300ER, featuring the new Creative 100 livery, made its public debut as it passed over the Start/Finish line just before race action, creating one of the most striking visual moments of the weekend. The aircraft represents a rare crossover between aviation, design, and motorsport similar to an F1 livery reveal, but executed on the scale of a wide-body jet.
The exterior was brought to life by aviation designer and Creative 100 inductee Aurora Sabo, who translated Swizz Beatz’s creative direction into a refined, technically precise livery. She developed the trim lines, color palette, and visual language in close collaboration with the Qatar Airways brand team, overseeing its execution onto the Boeing 777-300ER. Specializing in luxury private jet design, this marks Sabo’s first commercial aircraft and the largest exterior project of her career.
