British Airways B737-800

It looks fine it’s a temporary livery…what’s all the ballyhoo about

Not a fan of it at all. However its all that you can expect on a short-term lease.

So British Airways have this 737 for 6 months? With the summer season now upon us, I’m surprised that Excel Airways has an aircraft to spare. :confused:

Im sure if they do go short they will get one from sister company XL Germany and XL France.

Maybe they are trying the 737-800 out and looking at a new update to there current livery.looks ok:rolleyes: but I think they F*cked up the tail :diablo:

…totally agree. Looks dreadful!

I really dont mind it, i think the tail looks and more bold and clean compared to the standard design.

I suspect the BA franchise department won’t be too impressed when they see this.

I don’t think that they will be too bothered afterall it is only temporary just for the summer season. Not much point spending the extra money on a full repaint of the aircraft just for 5- 6 months that it wil be leased for.

The other side looks even worse. The speedmarque has been applied at a strange angle.

Definitely looks like a bad FS repaint. 😮

THey just want to get it flying the Charter side of things quickly. No time for paint jobs LOL

OMG looks like something out of Flight Sim!!

Sums it up perfectly! a bad repaint 😀 :p……

I have to admit that I thought it was a Photoshop job at first, and a dodgy one at that! 😎

It’s actually being leased by GB Airways for the summer, and will operate out of Gatwick.
The lease has put a lot of strain on GB’s LGW crew of late, as many have been off roster for conversion to the 737-800, meaning a very heavy workload!
It will be a damp lease, with XL flight crew and GB cabin crew.

Why convert many crews if this is only a temp lease? Why not convert 4 or 5 crews and use them on the 737 exclusively?

I think that’s nothing more than a quick paint job on a short term lease ? :p

Probably not even paint, just cheap stickers! :p

LOOKS VILE!!!
I think if was in the realy colours would look stunnin but sorry that mismatch fake livery looks vile!!

I really like it! 🙂

Since Gatwick seems to be the base for all 737s, I can only assume that’s where this will be going?
