Full throttle above the clouds: DTM flies into the final week

Spectacular: Passenger aircraft now travelling in DTM livery
Cooperation with the airline German Airways
German Airways event partner of the DTM in Hockenheim

Munich, 30 September 2025 - The DTM is taking off into the final week: ahead of the decisive race weekend in Hockenheim (3 to 5 October), the DTM is presenting a passenger jet in DTM livery together with German Airways, the second oldest German airline. As part of a co-operation with the airline, the Embraer E190-100LR with the registration D-AMWO is now flying on scheduled services between various German airports and Amsterdam in the DTM design. At an exclusive press conference at Cologne Bonn Airport on Monday, DTM and German Airways presented the 100-seater aircraft together with DTM title favourites Lucas Auer, Jordan Pepper, Ayhancan Güven and Fabio Scherer.

Fans of the DTM and the ADAC GT Masters will recognise German Airways as a partner of HRT Ford Performance on their Ford Mustang GT3 - both in the DTM with Fabio Scherer and in the ADAC GT Masters with championship leaders Salman Owega and Finn Wiebelhaus. In the partnership with the airline, the DTM is now not only present on the tarmac, but also above the clouds: The Embraer of German Airways bears the key visual and the logo of the racing series as well as the design of Fabio Scherer's Ford Mustang GT3. The DTM is also visible in the interior of the jet - for example on the so-called head rest covers and with information material in the seat pockets.

"From now on, the DTM will also have a spectacular presence above the clouds. DTM racing cars and aeroplanes are equally fascinating - the combination of the two is inspiring. We are delighted that we were able to realise this flying brand ambassador together with German Airways. The DTM aircraft will certainly inspire many motorsport fans in the coming weeks - whether as a passenger on board or at the airport," says ADAC Head of Motorsport Thomas Voss.

Maren Wolters, Managing Director of German Airways: "The fascination of flying and the fascination of motorsport is simply a perfect combination. Speed, absolute precision, continuous performance and technical perfection play a central role in both worlds. It fills us with pride that we were able to realise this project together so close to the end of the season and that we are now making this special connection visible throughout Europe."

German Airways is the second oldest airline in Germany and an experienced provider of wet lease partnerships and charter services at the highest level. The company operates a modern fleet of eight Embraer E190-100LR jets, which are used throughout Europe both as wet leases for renowned airlines and as individual charters for discerning customers. German Airways is a member of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the European Regions Airline Association (ERA) and stands for the highest standards of service, safety and performance. German Airways is the official event partner of the DTM at the Hockenheimring, and as part of the co-operation there is a German Airways Lounge in the guest area of the DTM Hospitality.
