      Plus there would be even more to cover if they also covered TEAL (now Air NZ international service) and NAC (now Air NZ domestic jet service). If they wanted to stretch it out even further they could cover the recently defunct subsidiaries Air New Zealand Link, Mount Cook Airline, Air Nelson or the defunct budget brand Freedom Air.

      Yes their dark grey livery does need explaining. Also for a short time united had a big sign up at London’s Heathrow Airport. The sign said “United Airlines of the United Kingdom. Well blow me away. I thought United Airlines was a United States carrier. So what was this larger than life sign about. I’m not one to read too much into this. But it has stayed in my mind. Marketing or politics?!

    @dinesh74g 3 года назад +2

    The Landor Livery applied to the 747s and Concordes were the best liveries. They weren't too overwhelming, and the livery was used during a prosperous time for the airline. The livery can be associated with that nostalgic feeling. They were also bright, colourful, and the speedtail and speedbirds were innovative

      @@kpudgar That's great. I don't think I have mine, it's been years but I remember as a kid getting a tiny little hardback book as a goodie on a flight that had all the airlines at the time and their tail fins drawn and whenever I'd go to the airport I'd use it to point out the planes through the windows. Hopefully I still have that around somewhere..

  • @JasonB95
    @JasonB95 3 года назад +4

    It's a toss-up for me between the Landor livery and the current livery. I like the speed logo of the current livery. It's exactly what a logo should be - simple, elegant and instantly recognizable. The tailfin design of the Landor livery I just love. That quartered Union Jack fit the shape of the stabiliser so perfectly.
    I'd love to see a livery evolution video for Delta Air Lines. They've had so many liveries prior to their merger with Northwest. I'd love to know the history behind it.

  • @krystlewhite7897
    @krystlewhite7897 3 года назад +3

    I love the Landor livery. It really says that this is a prestige airline, and crates the impression that you are going to be well looked after. Sadly, given the cost cutting over the past 10 years, this is certainly not the level of service BA offer any more.

    A lot of Flag carriers don't change their liveries for a long time (American) , and often have only small changes (Qantas, Air France, KLM). Airlines that make larger changes would be the likes of Air Canada, Aer Lingus, Delta and Lufthansa* (barely*)
