I do agree that it would look better on a 787How sad that they are using a 777 and no chrome finish. If they are using the flat gray they should have gone with a 787. the proportions might have looked better. i know its cost saving but its a big milestone for the comapny, Why not do it right?
From that rendering shared - it's pretty underwhelming - the excitement of an AA retro is undercut by the fact that it looks to be a very watered down and poorly envisioned and designed homage

Can’t disagree with that. The detail is impressive enough as it is; if it was watered down and poorly envisioned then it would be lacking a lot of the finer things that made the Flagship livery as iconic as it is. There’s a reason why planes like Flagship Knoxville and Flagship Detroit are cherished so much, after all…View attachment 56764
Aside from likely missing the base color, which I agree is disappointing, how is the proposed livery “watered down” and “poorly envisioned”?
Looks like they hit all of the design elements to me including the orange control surfaces which should look very striking on the wings.
Let’s also remember that all they have released thus far is a rendering so I don’t think it’s quite fair to be extremely critical at this point.
Those high density ex- PAL A350s make sense in their fleet. Can't wait to see that lovely livery on that aircraft!Discover Airlines (Lufthansa leisure brand) Will improve the fleet up to 40 airplanes by 2028.
In 2027 four ex Lufthansa A350-900s will enter in fleet and all the A330-200s will be retired, only A330-300 remaining.
Watered down because of the prospective execution, imo, of a livery that was intended for aircraft of very different scale and proportions - like @LeoMuse747 and I also exchanged earlier in this thread - with a caveat as I mentioned earlier, that we've yet to see the real thing - though the release image looks extremely cartoonish - which is not what I'd expect of a legacy airline like AA.From that rendering shared - it's pretty underwhelming - the excitement of an AA retro is undercut by the fact that it looks to be a very watered down and poorly envisioned and designed homage
Still haven't gotten over them replacing a 747-400 service with an A330.
The IndiGo livery on the A350-900 is so nice!Indigo A350-900s order.
New Delhi, India, October 17, 2025 - IndiGo, India’s largest airline, has finalised a commitment for 30 Airbus A350 aircraft, converting a Memorandum of Understanding signed in June into a firm order. This brings the airline's total A350 orders to 60 aircraft. The expanded order marks a strategic shift for IndiGo as it prepares to enter the long-haul international market, leveraging the A350’s long range and efficiency to support its global ambitions.

Indeed a shame! I'm so glad I was able to photograph the Lufthansa 747-400 in MCO back in 2022, in the very last days of service.

Only a few days later, the 744 was replaced by a leased Finnair A350 in the FRA-MCO route![]()
