Max Verstappen flew from Cannes Mandelieu Airport to Catania-Fontanarossa Airport on June 3, 2026, a 1-hour-34-minute hop aboard his Dassault Falcon 900EX, tail number PH-DTF.
The trip lands him in Sicily the same week the island hosts its first-ever Formula 1 Grand Prix — the 2026 Sicilian Grand Prix, scheduled for June 7 at the Autodromo di Pergusa, per the FIA race calendar. Verstappen, driving for Red Bull Racing, is expected to compete in the event, which replaces the Emilia Romagna round on this year's schedule.
The flight follows a pattern of short-haul movements between Verstappen's home base in Monaco and European race venues. Recent flights show him shuttling between Cannes, Amsterdam, and other hubs — consistent with a driver who lives in the south of France and travels to circuits across the continent for race weekends.
