Private Jet to the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2026

The Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix takes place at Yas Marina Circuit from Friday 4 to Sunday 6 December 2026. The wider event and concert programme begins on Thursday 3 December.

The weekend follows the standard Formula 1 format, with three practice sessions, qualifying on Saturday and the 58-lap season finale on Sunday.

We arrange private jet flights to Abu Dhabi around the race programme, landing permission, airport handling and aircraft parking. Al Bateen is Abu Dhabi’s dedicated executive airport, while Zayed International is closer to Yas Island and better suited to aircraft requiring longer runways.

How Much Does a Private Jet to the Abu Dhabi F1 Grand Prix Cost?

‍

Regional flights may suit a light or midsize jet when passenger and baggage totals allow. Flights from Europe normally require a super-midsize or heavy jet, while New York will usually require an ultra-long-range aircraft. The final price depends on aircraft location, the selected Abu Dhabi airport, crew duty time, permit and handling charges, parking and any repositioning sectors.

Grand Prix demand can reduce aircraft and parking availability. If the jet cannot remain in Abu Dhabi, the quote may include an empty flight to another airport and a return sector for passenger collection.
