FlySafair has officially partnered with Red Bull Flugtag 2025, stepping in as the event’s official airline sponsor and aligning its brand with one of the most imaginative celebrations of flight and innovation. The partnership highlights FlySafair’s commitment to aviation excellence, creativity and nurturing the next generation of engineering talent.

As part of the collaboration, FlySafair unveiled a special aircraft livery inspired by the daring spirit of Red Bull Flugtag. The reveal took place at a high-energy event attended by content creators and key representatives from both FlySafair and Red Bull, capturing the imagination and excitement that define the annual event.

But FlySafair’s involvement goes beyond sponsorship. The airline has assembled its own Red Bull Flugtag team, drawing from young talent across its operations and technical divisions including recent graduates. The team has been deeply involved in the design, prototyping and testing of their flying machine, even conducting wind tunnel trials to refine their creation.

“Red Bull Flugtag is an incredible opportunity to turn a fun event into a meaningful learning experience for our young engineers,” says Kirby Gordon, Chief Marketing Officer at FlySafair. “Building a flying machine from scratch has been an amazing exercise in teamwork, innovation and creativity. It’s an experience that will stay with them throughout their careers.”

The partnership reflects a natural synergy between FlySafair and Red Bull. Both brands celebrate ingenuity, pushing boundaries and a passion for aviation—whether through commercial operations or hands-on engineering challenges. With FlySafair actively participating in the event, the airline is not only supporting creativity in aviation but also investing in the development of South Africa’s future engineering talent.

Red Bull Flugtag 2025 promises to be a spectacular display of imagination, engineering and flight—and FlySafair is proud to be part of the action.
