Honda Aircraft Company announced today that it has delivered the HondaJet Elite to the Formula 1 racing team – Scuderia AlphaTauri.

The aircraft will be mainly operated in Europe and used for multiple purposes, including transporting drivers, other athletes and officers, and previewing racing circuits.

“I am delighted that Red Bull has chosen to add the HondaJet Elite to its fleet. Formula 1 Racing is one of the most physically demanding sports in the world, and we are pleased to be able to offer the Red Bull team a competitive edge through our aircraft’s unrivaled efficiency, performance and comfort,” said Honda Aircraft Company President and CEO Michimasa Fujino. “With an industry leading dispatch reliability, the HondaJet Elite is perfect for professional athletes, who need safe, reliable and quick travel from city to city.
