Look out for BA 747

[phil.l]

All you photographers look out for BA 747 G-CIVP One World titles replacing British airways titles.

[Grahame Hutchison]

Looks like it's heading to SFO from LHR at present.

Saw a photo of it on airliners.net, doesnt look bad at all has large One World titles with small British Airways titles underneath.

[Kieran Wells]

certainly is interesting...did see on a.net that there was a comparison between the BA one world logojet and Singapore Airlines *Alliance jet. In most cases, I do prefer the BA one as it does keep its identitiy, however some of the other one world jet don't..

[Sarah C]

It looks really good. Not as prominent as the Star Alliance ones but still very nice. It would be good if all the oneworld airlines had at least one logo jet.

Agree with Sarah, would be great to see this on aircraft from all member airlines.

I find that livery mundane at best.

In contrast to that, give me the Etihad F1 scheme any day.

[David M]

Nick,

Although you might find it 'mundane at best', It's had the desired affect and got you talking and noticing it! ;)

[NickN]

To condemn it :D

But your right, any publicity is good publicity.

(Unless you are Shane Warne or his mobile phone)

I suspect this is because we look for and even relish these sorts of things. As for the general travelling public, I don't think it will be noticable to them and certainly not to the same level as Star Logo Jets.

Just a news release of interest:

The heads of all oneworld® member airlines today renewed their companies' commitment to the alliance. They pledged to step up their own carriers' oneworld activities across all areas, from customer service through sales, marketing and distribution to sharing best practice and cost reduction.

To symbolize this renewed commitment, all the alliance's member airlines are to decorate a proportion of their aircraft fleets in a standard oneworld livery. From now, every airline in the alliance will decorate a proportion of its fleet in the oneworld livery - around 40 aircraft in total, mainly types that fly on international routes.

It looks like QF will be one of the airlines which gets one of them. This is the image that they put together:

:confused: Some time back, there was discussions about a 'Special Livery' perhaps on a QF A380... Maybe this is what that discussion revolved around?? :confused:

God I hope not!! It looks disgusting and cheap:mad:

[Matthew H]

Iberia have got in on the action with an A320

Same style as the BA 744.

[Mike W]

Good grief, it's all a bit half ars#d. I get the feeling that they feel they need to do something but aren't really committed.

[Dan Collins]

The problem is that I suppose we shouldn't expect too much from an alliance livery. Look at Star Alliance. They're not really anything special.

I had heightened hopes after seeing Japan Air Lines and what they applied to their B777's when they entered oneworld but they've since been removed and will be replaced with this slightly less interesting scheme.

At least though all oneworld carriers will keep their identity unlike Star Alliance (except Singapore Airlines), but I hope we don't see this livery on an A380. Maybe a B737, an A330 and a B744? I read somewhere it will be 3% of the overall fleet, and on international serving aircraft where possible.

Will SkyTeam follow suit as well?

No 380, then they're not really serious about One whatever... :p

[phil.l]

G-BNLI B747 is also wearing One World Titles.

[Grahame Hutchison]

G-BNLI (http://cdn-www.airliners.net/aviation-photos/middle/3/7/4/1481473.jpg) in One World livery.

[phil.l]

Thanks for the photo Grahame.

[Rhys Xanthis]

Looks very very nice.

Hopefully we get something equally as nice on QF.

Hope we get something that's a LOT more tastefully done and doesn't look like an afterthought like BA's does!!

[Lee G]

Just had word from my sources that neither of the two BA Oneworld livery aircraft will be anywhere near YSSY for the month of February 09.

If I hear anything contrary, I'll post it here.

Lee,

Any idea where the 2 BA Oneworld livery aircraft are operating in Feb? Thanks.

[Lee G]

Fabian,

Sorry but I can't provide that level of info.

However - to make up for this .... word is that G-CIVP is slated for 06Mar in YSSY.

[Scott S]

QF73 28Feb, Saturday spotters just pay attention.

[Tim Bowrey]

QF73 28Feb, Saturday spotters just pay attention.

That sounds mysterious. Is OEB and EBL in Oneworld livery soon?

OEB to do QF73 SYD-SFO-BFI-SFO-SYD and get a repaint? Something along those lines?

[Tim Bowrey]

word is that G-CIVP is slated for 06Mar in YSSY.

Does anyone know if she is in today or maybe on her way to arrive tomorrow morning?

[Lee G]

I checked last night and it wasn't CIVP - looks like they swapped the aircraft since I got the information. I'll check tonight for tommorrow's aircraft and post it.

[Tim Bowrey]

And then there was 3!

G-CIVC Is the new one to wear the OneWorld. (http://www.jetphotos.net/viewphoto.php?id=6500906&nseq=0)

Any news on any coming?

[Lee G]

Looks like another advert for SIDS.

I'll keep a check for all three now and if I see any of them head this way I'll post it.
