The airline introduced exclusive designs in Paris and announced the global project “The Qatar Airways Creative 100” combining art, culture and aviation.

The Qatari company becomes Formula 1’s official global partner in 2023, and the new paint scheme will debut on aircraft registered A7-BEB, which currently still wears a livery themed after the 2022 FIFA World Cup, which is also being held in the country.
In addition to the launch, Qatar Airways also announced the international initiative “The Qatar Airways Creative 100”, developed in collaboration with renowned musician and producer Swizz Beatz (Kassim Dean). The project will bring together 100 of the world’s most influential creators — including artists, designers, engineers and athletes — on a platform that connects art, innovation and travel.
Through his Instagram account, Swizz Beatz revealed that he was directly involved in the design of the plane’s new livery. The first official event of Creative 100 is scheduled to take place in February 2026 during Art Basel Qatar, where the first participants of the initiative will be introduced.
According to Qatar Airways, the aim of the project is to transform travel into a cultural experience by integrating the world of art into flights, while strengthening the airline’s role as a promoter of global creativity.
