IBERIA first 333 in new colours
Hi 
Photos: Airbus A330-303 Aircraft Pictures | Airliners.net
So basically 2 questions:
1) So secrecy and too much time "for this"..???
2) With a fleet almost as dirty as AF, in this layout here, (unless they change their fuselage cleaning policy), this "new eurowhite style" would evidence it much more ... just my 2 cents
Cheers
PS: heard about Font/Style letters ?

Utterly uninspiring and uninspired Much as I dislike the airline, I thought the old livery was very evocative of all the good things about Spain.
The money would be better spent on customer service training as Iberia possibly sets the lowest standard of any EU (legacy) carrier.

I find it utterly incredible that any industry professional would regard such a bland colour scheme as the way forward and a positive asset to the airline. What message are they trying convey here?

Is an aircraft's paint job that important?

Just "another colour scheme", doesn't say IBERIA - Spanish airlines!
Ok, before anyone says, Iberia is on the fuselage and Engines, take this off, look at the fuselage colours only, which airline is this?
Bland, unimaginative, poor.

e.g.
Air France - generally filthy a/c, so doesn't give a warm feeling about how they maintain their a/c.
Lufthansa - generally pristine a/c, so I'm thinking the opposite to Air France
I like the BA colour scheme (amongst many others) because when I get on obe of their a/c in a foreign airport I find it welcoming and being home already. When you travel a lot for work it makes a difference.

otherwise they'd just paint every aircraft in white with no other markings.

Not so much metal in the latest aircraft though, so unpainted composite would be the norm? Anyway, I've heard stories that corrosion prevention measures on bare metal cost the earth and negated the fuel saving from having no paint. There must have been some reason why nearly every airline opted for a painted finish.

This scheme is just awful. I had quite hoped that they would opt for something like German wings and use some sort of ribbons in the colours of the Spanish flag and perhaps put this ribbon on top of IBERIA the way BA do with theirs.
I realise the Spanish flag colours would be a bit intense all over an aircraft but this has to be one of the least well thought through schemes ever....

Until the composite 787 came along!
If you think that livery does not count, think back to the hoo-hah over the BA world tails? As it happens, I thought they were brilliant but could see why people did not like them.
As did American Airlines.
