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.

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.

Little preview sent to me by a Portuguese friend:

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

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

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