(Puts legal hat on)

You can’t register a copyright at all in the UK (you can in the US though). A copyright is automatically assigned to the author of a work of art (which could include a livery I suppose). A copyright remains with the author for his lifetime plus 70 years after death and gives protection against actual copies of his/her work without taking any action whatsoever.

I think what you’re talking about is a trademark. These are registrable in almost all countries (including the UK) and provide protection against copies of logos, names, mottos etc. In this respect, MYT would have probably registered its trademark.

This could be enforced if it were copied (e.g. if a UK airline called Your Travel was set up with a similar livery, logo etc) based on the similarity with that of MYT – the public may get confused etc… However, as One2Go passengers aren’t likely to confuse this a/c with a MYT, and it isn’t actually the airline’s proper colour scheme, I doubt MYT could take legal action.

JAL operated the 741, 742, 743, 744 and the 747SR (though not the SP).

You cant really copyright colours.

when you say you cant copyright colours, the design is still the same

You can register the livery (i.e. design, colour and shapes) as a trademark, which I’m sure they would have done. Copyright only applies to works of art.

Why not apply to EZY or FR, given that both have recently announced expansion plans at LTN?

Latterly, Caledonian operated some Tristars and DC-10’s, but not a 747, I don’t believe.

Caledonian operated the 747 in the late ’80s (pic here). These came from British Airtours immediately after the BA takeover, along with the TriStars. BA operated the TriStar and 747, and inherited the DC10s from BCal.

I’m pretty sure that “Caledonian” operated all 3 types under their own AOC, though.

Caledonian definitely flew the DC-10 up until 2000 (see here), and I think they were flown under their own AOC. They were generally based at LGW and MAN.

Emirates’ new IFE systems will apparently be capable of holding 7,000 music tracks and 700 films. No DVD player could have that capacity. You should also find that part of the IFE system is likely to be stored in a case under each passengers’ seat.
