VIRGIN ATLANTIC SUPPORTS SUPER AGURI F1 TEAM IN SUZUKA
SUPER AGURI F1 TEAM is pleased to announce its partnership
with Virgin Atlantic (Japan) for the 2006 Japanese Grand Prix
at Suzuka.
The one-race agreement sees the Virgin Atlantic branding
on the team’s SA06 cars and Takuma Sato’s race
helmet for Round 17 of the FIA Formula One™ World Championship
this weekend. Virgin Atlantic and SAF1 Team driver Takuma
Sato have already enjoyed a three-year personal partnership
and are happy to extend this relationship to incorporate the
team this weekend.
Virgin Atlantic recently announced that it has teamed up
with ANA (All Nippon Airways), an existing partner of the
SAF1 Team. This new collaboration will allow Virgin Atlantic
passengers to fly onwards in Japan on ANA’s domestic
services. The deal will also allow ANA travellers to fly on
Virgin Atlantic services from ANA destinations on the Virgin
route network. In addition to this arrangement, Virgin Atlantic
Airways and ANA will be releasing a special joint round the
world (RTW) fare utilising the networks of both carriers.
Aguri Suzuki, Team Principal, SUPER AGURI F1 Team
“Following the collaboration between Virgin Atlantic
and our existing partner ANA, I am very happy that the team
is able to receive support from Virgin Atlantic. Having the
two world renowned airline companies as SAF1 Team partners
gives us great confidence. We now have only two races left
in this season, but we hope that will able to show our partners
performances that are worthy of their support.”
