Because after about 20 years Turkish Airlines decided to abandone the silver Tulip. All the airplanes delivered will not have the Tulip.

Oh?! Like it's a fleet wide branding decision? Wow. That's sad
So it's basically JAL now

I get it if you disagree, it’s iconic, but I actually like it better without the tulip.

Yeah it'll take some getting used to that's all I guess - the silver Tulip had a nice ephemeral aspect to it - sometimes visible and sometimes not - and sometimes in part and sometimes in full. - and hopefully they won't eventually discard the grey underbelly. Some of their narrowbodies didn't have the Tulip I now notice.
Sad to see this livery becoming simpler! Although it's an OK livery, nothing really striking or distinctive to begin with. Would be nice to see Turkish coming up with a more elaborated design

Curious what's the story behind this livery 
News of today: Aeroitalia will lease up to five B737 MAX8 starting by third quarter 2026.
About the name change, Air Italy, It seems to be problematic. More news in the future.

This drink in China is actually pretty nice.

What's it called?
And is that leased out as an ad or actually painted for the owner / company?

Watched the live stream of the delivery yesterday - such a gorgeous special scheme and works so well with the base livery
for me, Swiss special schemes always look the same: messy! They look like notebook stickers applied all over the plane
Considering how bland their scheme is, sometimes this is not actually bad

In english it's called "Want Want", I'm not sure either what's it for, it's probably for advertising. Some of you should try the drink; it's very sweet.

China Southern applies a similar gorgeous scheme on a C919 as on their B-308T A350
