SkyTeam issued a press release today about its new alliance livery, and the fact sheet that came along with it had a table with details about the liveries that will come out for the rest of the year. I put the list in chronological order, if anyone’s interested.
I really don’t get why Czech is painting an ATR over one of its A310s or any of the mainline birds for that matter. Anyway, I’m looking forward to seeing these come out during the year! Hopefully there will be more (I’m looking at you, Skyteam carriers ordering A380s).
Finally, after a long wait, the world can now see the Delta 767-400, registered N844MH, in a SkyTeam livery. Click here for a set of pictures courtesy of a N701DN on Twitter. It’s really great that SkyTeam is finally following Star and making member airlines advertise the alliance on their aircraft. I think the livery looks great!
I decided to talk about something lighter today. I absolutely love talking about aircraft liveries sometimes. I think it comes from my interest in Microsoft Flight Simulator, especially the AI Traffic that flies around in the game that users can modify, which essentially allows a user to go spotting anywhere in the world! A lot of simmers try to make their traffic as detailed as possible, which means including a load of special aircraft liveries. Anyway, back on topic. I can talk about FS for way too long… I received a press release from oneworld in my inbox yesterday Continue reading ‘Alliance Liveries’
Greetings from sunny overcast and warm Fort Lauderdale! The flight was very good and I’ll share my thoughts on Southwest and their recent changes (I haven’t flown them in a year) when I get back.
Well this has been rumored ever since Continental turned down a merger with United, and it has finally happened. Continental will be launching a codeshare program with United, though the airlines will cooperate in many ways other than a simple codeshare, as the press release says. More importantly (I think), Continental wants to join the Star Alliance.
Honestly this move isn’t too shocking because of events going on in Skyteam. With the Northwest-Delta merger and their partnership with Air France and KLM, Continental probably felt a bit left out.
