Qatar Grand Prix 2026 by Private Jet

From 27 to 29 November 2026, Formula 1 sets up in Doha for the Qatar Grand Prix, raced at night under the floodlights of the Lusail International Circuit, about thirty kilometres north of the capital. The penultimate round of a season that settles in the Middle East, it is also the first leg of an ideal double: the Abu Dhabi finale follows one week later. By private jet, Doha is reached nonstop from Europe, landing at Hamad airport's dedicated terminal. Here is the complete guide.

The 2026 Qatar Grand Prix: a race like no other

Lusail, used to night-time motorcycle racing before hosting F1 in 2021, is a fast, flowing 5.4 km ribbon lined with kerbs, whose behaviour shifts as night-time temperatures drop. Sunday evening's race under the lights is one of the most singular spectacles on the calendar, in a country that has made sport a major axis of its influence. One week from the finale, championship stakes can be decisive: Lusail has already seen titles decided.

Arriving in Doha by private jet

Hamad International Airport (DOH) welcomes business aviation in a dedicated terminal, with high-end handling, customs and immigration on site. The Lusail circuit lies about thirty-five minutes by road north of Doha, and the Lusail marina, the museums and the West Bay hotels concentrate most of the weekend. From Europe, expect about 6 h 15 of direct flight from Paris-Le Bourget, 6 h from Geneva and 6 h 45 from London, nonstop on a super midsize or heavy jet. As with any night race, departures play out late on Sunday evening: your aircraft leaves on your time.

Flight times and indicative pricing

As an indication, a Paris-Doha round trip is quoted from about 70,000 euros on a super midsize jet, more on an ultra-long-range aircraft, depending on the aircraft, dates and ground time. For a delegation or a group of guests, our group travel service coordinates everyone's arrivals. We set out the factors behind the cost of a private jet charter, our available fleet covers the suited long-range categories, and our feature on travelling to Qatar by private jet prepares the rest of the stay.

The Gulf double: Qatar, then the Abu Dhabi finale

The 2026 calendar lines up the season's last two races one week apart: Lusail from 27 to 29 November, then Yas Marina from 4 to 6 December. Two Grands Prix, one Gulf trip: Doha to Abu Dhabi is a one-hour hop, and the week in between lends itself to museums, the desert or Dubai. Our teams coordinate these chains every season's end; see our guide to the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix for the finale. On the ground, our concierge services handle hotels, restaurants and transfers, and explore our other private jet destinations to extend the trip.
