AirIndia changing its livery!

Advisor · Post by **Advisor** » 31 Jan 2007, 06:10

A little birdie tells me that AI is changing its livery

Full red belly instead of the gray one

Red engines with the saggitarian logo in gold on them

the arch style windows retained without the entire red stretch

And yes saggitarian everywhere

Can anyone confirm this

Why is AI going in for a livery change

Is this something to do with the IPO

If this is just a money making gimmick, will AI head honchos not realise what happened last time when Rajan Jaitley embarked on a similar exercise to enable the Sun Logo

I think the old, classic, scheme looked better

Not bad, seen better though.

That's about time... Their old livery was very 1960's, and not in a good way like AA's.

Very nice improvement, AI looks like a modern company again.

Hello

Looks prety good , altough I also like the classic scheme.
Anyway , I've seen much other (bigger) airlines wich USED to have a FANTASTIC livery (see Asiana etc...) wich has a new livery that TOTALLY SUCKS so... I think this new Air India livery is still quite nice.

Best regards: Yannick

I have to get used to it...
My first opinion, a nice tail but too much white on the body.

They are on the aircraft, just not as exaggerated at the previous scheme.

I concour 8)

Do u think that by a more wide response AI would redo it livery on the body

I think they should cover the whole body of the plane in Mehndi patterns.

Yes, indeed. I think it would look great. Would probably cost a lot to make though.

Hello

Now do I have bad eyes , or do I see a B777-200LR without the 'Raked Wingtips' there?
