'Bout time too - the current livery must be 30 years old at least.....

The current Air Portgal livery was introduced in about 1982 and in my view still looks pretty good. Chances are any new livery will follow the "mostly white fuselage" route and so join all the lookalike schemes around. I hope I'm wrong about that, though.

The longest-lived colour scheme of a major airline that I can think of is Alitalia's, with Iberia's (late 70s) also of long standing. However if the scheme is a good one I don't see why it should be ditched just for the sake of change.

Air India hasn't changed since the days of the 707.

Actually papertiger, it did change but eventually changed back again to the original (and present) version.

Yeah, I saw that butt-ugly 747 once. I thought it was the only one - an experiment. Did they do more ?

It's about time Air France changed their rather boring scheme

Yep, your are not wrong, just seems like 30 yrs;). Probabaly because I fly with them nearly every week. The current livery was probably ahead of its time, hence its longevity but in this marketing orientated world nothing can stand still. Agree with you, I hope the change is not along the lines of the rest of the white body crowd...

For me the best and worse livery changes recently are:

Aeroflot:
Love it, very different and looks so good on the Tu family.

Air Canada:
Sorry but hope they didn't pay the consultants more than £5 for that. The first time I saw a 767 in it I thought it was painted all white because it had just returned from a lease with someone else.

What do you think?

( The rest of the plane is still not ready, but that's something to go on for now )

Nooooooo. The Air France scheme is beautiful. No tack, no stupid gimmicks, just nice clean lines ........ not forgetting that it is cheap!

[GOLF-INDIA BRAVO]

Air France has got to be one of the most boring schemes around and Judging by the tail of the TAP airbus i`m not really sure about that either
On a positive note I love Jet2 colours

:yuk: :{ :( :hmm: :*

Judge it for yourselfs...

I don't like it, another Euro-White airline... It looks ugly on the A310.

[Liffy 1M]

What an appalling effort!

As a weekly SLF with TAP all I can say is... well... nothing really. Guess they used the same agency as Air Canada..... Shame:bored:

Beaufiful, simple, stylish, no fanfare!
