Oh my God. I asked this question when Iberia rebranded, and when Lufthansa did it too: What is going through these people's minds? Are they deliberately going out of their way to see who can design the most banal livery?

Me too...sometimes less is more. The titles are clean and crisp, and the tail adds a bit of a flourish. It's not ground-breaking, but it's neat and tidy, and maintains brand identity. It's not going to be mistaken for anyone else!

It's not as bad as people re making out but it's certainly a step down from the current livery. Reeks of Qantas 2.0. Still, 100x better than the eyesores that are Finnair and Iberia

Err, are we looking at the same livery? Take the Shamrock off and it could be any single-flyer DoD charter operator. Or perhaps some Russian outfit that flies once a week to Murmansk. Or... Level's shorthaul subsidiary.
If the only distinguishing feature is the logo, then what's the point of the livery? Just be honest and do an all-over white job like that Omni 767 that did the Shannon services a while back. Stick a Shamrock on the tail, job jobbed and EUR2 million saved.

It' surely can't be a co-incidence that the 3 liveries IAG have launched (Iberia, Level and now EI) are all an almost identical style. EI went to great lengths in their presentation to explain what the brand/livery should represent, yet as if by magic they ended up with a blue/green version of Iberia .. 
As for the other IAG airlines, Vueling largely fit the theme already. Just BA left to get the "Eurowhite with coloured tail" treatment?

Not a fan I have to say,. Looks like something they rented in for a few months and did a quick paint job on it..but hey, each to their own.
The Morketing speak at the launch was hilarious to listen to though.

Business decided what it was doing and marketING got told to write it up and justify it.

Can someone confirm if EI flew SNN-BOS 6 x Weekly with a daily JFK last winter (18/19) ? It's usually JFK that's 6 weekly with BOS daily, or have I FUBARED my own records once again?
Thanks!
