Qatar Airways enhances its Formula E sponsorship to become title sponsor of the Paris and New York City E-Prix

Qatar Airways has enhanced its highly successful sponsorship of the ABB FIA Formula E Championship electric street racing series. The new three-season deal sees Qatar Airways continue its title sponsorship of the Paris E-Prix, which takes place on 28 April after the tremendously successful 2017 Qatar Airways Paris E-Prix last year, as well as now being title sponsor of the New York City E-Prix, which takes place on July 14-15. The enhanced partnership also means Qatar Airways will become the Official Airline Partner for the Rome E-Prix on April 14, and the Berlin E-Prix, on 19 May this year. The enhancement of the airline’s Formula E partnership comes after the tremendously successful 2017 Qatar Airways Paris E-Prix, which took place in the French capital last May, and the first-ever New York City E-Prix in July 2017, where Qatar Airways was the Official Airline Partner.
