after reading a back copy of Airliner world June 2003, i noticed in the feedback section a keen reader come up with the idea for livery awards.

So down below are some catergories, and it's up to you to fill those catergories with winners and stating the reason why!

1. Most Stylish Livery Award

2. Least likely to stand out on a crowded airport apron award

3. Most likely to "frighten the cows" award

4. Most Irrelevant livery of all time award

5. Livery most in need of updating award

6. And the special award is...Who let the accountant choose the colour scheme award

1) definately Air Tahiti Nui as it is just such a recogniseable livery.
2) Alitalia as its an airline that has a livery that men of the stone age were used to.
3) QANTAS as Cows wouldnt like to see other animals :confused:
4) Air New Zealand. No reason.
5) Alitalia, Air France.
6) see 5 also.

Why is AZ in the irrelevant section?

Do you not know the symbol on the tail is of cultural significance to New Zealand... or are you just ignorant?

while on the subject of liveries, Air Baltic has rolled out a new livery:

My first impression was that they nicked the livery of now defunct DUO Airways. I preferred the old livery, even though it was a bit white.


Coooolllll. certainly some kind of JMC nostalgia!!

1. Most stylish has got to be the new Bankok Air livery on the new A320's - looks stunning!

2. Hard to choose really - Alitalia, Spanair, Iberia, Air Canada (Old livery) - too many to list. None of these really stand out, and they are all old and dated.

3. The excel group - HollandExcel/BelgiumExcel etc. Blue and orange dont really mix very well togther.

4. Afriqiyah Airways - one airlines livery i dont really see the point to?! :confused: All the 9's on the tail, whats that about?

5. Air France, Lufthansa, Alitalia - the usual line up ;)

6. Martinair!

I still think Cathay Pacific has a truly classic paint job.

Quite like the NWA one aswell.
