To me, this is the type of “subtle” rebranding that is effective. I’m a huge fan of the light blue and gray, as well as the adaptation to the logo on the tail. However, the airline has surged through with repainting its aircraft with a lighter blue livery which I find quite easy on the eye.Ĭompare and contras Aerolineas’ old livery (top) with its new one (bottom): Aerolineas has struggled financially over the years and been laden with debt issues and fleet mishaps, amid a myriad of other problems. Sling-shotting over to Latin America, one carrier that has undergone a major rebranding recently is the state-sponsored Aerolineas Argentinas, a recent addition to the SkyTeam alliance. I probably won’t be flying them anytime soon though, although, never say never. While aesthetically pleasing, it is not what I would consider original. The new livery, in my honest opinion, looks a lot like Garuda Indonesia or Mexicana. This was one of Gaddafi’s major projects that ultimately did not go very well, and so the airline has adopted a new paint scheme since the prior version was too closely linked to his regime. The Continental globe is a bit too simplistic for me.Īnother major game-changer has occured for Libyan’s national airline, Afriqiyah Airways, which previously had used a livery that displayed a series of “9’s” on its tail in relation to Septem– the date the African Union was founded. I still much prefer the United tulip over the Continental globe. I was aware that All Nippon Airways had adopted various paint schemes for their 787s, but I’m happy to see that United is making some alterations. I will be honest, this was not something that I recognized right off the bat.
The swoop is a Boeing trademark, and United is adopting it for the 787 as a tribute to the two companies working together. We'll be finding a new host that will allow us to host our files indefinitely.Alas, there is more ground to cover, so let’s move on.Īlthough not discussed often, United has actually adopted a separate paint scheme recently applied specifically on their 787s by adding a gold “ribbon” swooping along the fuselage of the plane.

Many custom modified plane models were made by the community. Welcome to 2013! A lot of things happened in the ATC3 community.
