Beautiful GlobalX A320 N291GX "full Sunrise Airways livery" spotted at Miami.
This is a GlobalX A320 painted in Sunrise Airways livery, because Sunrise stopped to use A320, B737 and ATR-72 focusing the fleet in Jetstream 31/41, E145 and E120.

Wake me up, I'm dreaming

That makes two of us - thought it was a fan rendering when I first saw it, since LH hasn't started A350-1000 deliveries yet, and I mistook the 747-8 for a 747-400.

Quite a redemption arc since the unveiling of their current livery

This is a news! An entire fleet painted in the same, special livery, something not so common in civil aviation world.

This is a news! An entire fleet painted in the same, special livery, something not so common in civil aviation world.

Quote myself because i am really not able to find something similar. I can find Southwest with many B737-800s and B737-700s painted in different special liveries; the three ANA A380s "Flying Honu" liveries (different liveries) and B777-200/B777W "Star Wars" (even here different liveries); the Delta A350-900 and A330-900neo "LA28" and "Team USA" (different liveries); NOK and the beautiful special liveries in its B737-800s and Dash 8-400s (all different); airBaltic with an almost entire A220-300 fleet painted in special liveries (all different); Qantas with B737-800, Dash 8-400 and B787-9 painted in different special liveries; Pluna and its CRJ-900s "Purple", "Navy", "Blue", Assist Card" and "Tale", all different and not considered special liveries but variations of the same livery.
And last but not least, Emirates with the dozens A380s painted in (different) special liveries.
The only airline that painted two airplanes of its fleet with the same special livery should have been Eurofly and its A330-200 and A320 with "Football World Cup livery", more a giant sticker than a livery


Well, Lufthansa is making something magic...once again.

Leo, for you and for all spotters and enthusiasts loving civil aviation and airplanes, with this very sad view of some beautiful birds



This airframe was born like G-OOAR for Air 2000 (UK) in November 2000.
25 years of life for this poor airplane.
Close there is a Frontier A320.

Loved the eurofly standard scheme on the A330! Hopefully it'll make it to NG's mould at some point.

Thanks Hehe!
Yeah I agree I cannot dislike this Hehe!
Definitely changes the appearance completely and for the better!
An FD of this will look great as part of the display
I watched it land at LHR for the first time on BigJet, but none of the angles gave away too much

Cabo Verde Airlines started trials with the first B737 MAX8, D4-CCJ.
Before the airline flew the B757-200, even with different tail colors.
Maybe the same choice with the MAX, this one with yellow tail.

NOOOOOO...yet another failed airline.
SmartLynx from Latvia, after 30 years of activity, ceased all operations.
Focused in different countries but based at Riga, this charter/ACMI airline had a fleet of 35 A320 and 17 A321.
Very very sad, especially for the about 400 employees.
