G-BPEK, BA 'Open Skies' respray

Not overly impressed with the scheme – i wasn’t when i first saw the draft idea for it. Very bland indeed. It is nice to see the winglets on it though – but they would have looked better with the BA union flag on them i think – give it al little more character.

I think it’s the winglets that make it interesting. Yes it’s a bland livery compared to most, but I still think it’s looks a better job in the ‘flesh’ than in the previously released concept drawings.

Good point about the union flag on the winglets, but hey it’s not really supposed to be a British airline is it ? They’d have been better putting an EU flag on one winglet and a US one on the other to match the little flags on the fuselage.

I hope this looks much better in the flesh than in photos as some scheme’s do, because I am not a fan at all from the photos!

Good to see winglets on the old fellow. When are they painting one up for Terminal 5 ?

Unless BA lower’s the price to fly from say paris to new york then it might go well but foreigners will more likely use there own national carrier unless it was cheaper

Couldn’t you say the same about the ex-GB Airways, it was just another franchise of British Airways.

Open Skies, is operated by British Airways, but flies to New York for various European Cities, such as Paris and Brussels. Plans have also been made to expand to FRA.

really i dont see the point then

O sounds very posh 😀

i suppose it will all be first class?

No posher than a normal BA flight with economy even included. Infact it wont even feature a First product.

WHAT? Is that the best they can do? Is anybody going to notice that, has nobody at BA or its PR consultants got any imagination?:p

I suspect their PR consultants have ‘bigger fish to fry’ at the moment…:rolleyes:
