In light of united new livery, what other airline, would you change. the funny thing with united is that there old livery, was nice and there new one is nice as well, which is quite strange, normally you would change the livery if it was old, or if it was ugly, but united was neither it was around 10yrs old, and nice. but what airline would you change, from the number of different airlines i have flown, i would love to change Alitalia, that must be the ugliest one ever followed by Iberia.

I also enjoyed the Chelsea Rose scheme, Peter, as well as the 2 Scotland tails.

Anyone who had trouble identifying BA world tail planes as belonging to the company, have no business knowing anything about airplanes, or anything, for that matter. If they failed to notice the titling as Ren mentioned, then too bad.

I kind of like the new El Al livery.
It’s sober butr elegant. An other Euro White I know , but I like it.

I would change the Martinair livery.
Also, with regard to BA, I don’t really like the chatham union livery. That’s probably the reason why it was choosen as their future livery, just to tick me off. I did like quite a few of the other designs. In particular the Chelsea Rose!

El Al just changed their and i find it great! Yemenia is a poor airline and doesn’t have the money for such things.

As much as I really like them as a charter airline, it has to be SCY that needs a revamp.

Phillippines need new livery, and Air France needs clean aircraft. Cleaning the aircraft would reveal a total new livery!:D

Us ‘non-Brits’ do have to watch ourselves once in while, Hand. 😉 I think it was an absolute shame the world tails were thwarted after only a couple of years. I always enjoy seeing them every now and again.

I agree bmi c/s is superb.
I agree it is supurb, as well. The way the Union Flag is superimposed on the tail, is just genious.
Best colour scheme in the world, in my opinion, is BWIA.

I never really think about BA as one of my faves.. but got to agree it does look stunning. The BMi scheme looks incredible on the A330s it really is fab. The one that really really REALLY needs changing is Air Scandic. Its incredibly bad!

Some people complained that it was becoming difficult to identify BA aircraft as they were all different, and its either the end of this year or the end of next year that they all have to be repainted by.
Have to agree with the majority though, the current BA livery is superb. Didn’t particularly like the old one though.

Yes, I think the BMI scheme is excellent, especially the reflective blue BMI logo on the forward fuselage. It looks amazing when the sun catches it.
Yes it does.
I was a bit saddened by the demise of the old c/s until approximately 0.5 seconds after I saw the new one for the first time. It really has a ‘WOW’ factor.

Ryanair and BA have superb liveries. Completely agree with Sandy and I’ve often mentioned it in discussion with Andrew that I think the BA livery is superb. I can’t see how it could be improved really, it’s has everything the flag carrier should. Superb.
I liked Ryanairs old colours, but their new livery is even better. Keeps the Ryanair design, but freshens it up and makes it look cleaner.

Its not a matter that I like it.
I see it for what it is and strongly object people calling it common, which suggests simply following a trend. That simply isn’t true.
This livery was revealed a few years before all the charters and new starts started painted in “eurowhite” schemes
But I too, respect your opinion
