Title: Underside Wording
Post by: ww2ni on February 24, 2016, 12:23:38 PM: I was gazing towards the skies yesterday and notice that some other airlines are now following the likes of Emerates and Virgin with some underside wording.

Post by: smudge on February 24, 2016, 03:26:44 PM: A few others have adopted the idea;

Qatar has it fleet-wide.

Nippon Cargo have 'NCA' on the belly

Turkish Airlines have some belly-logos on their A330s and B77Ws but it doesn't seem to be consistent across new deliveries.

Aer Lingus' Irish Rugby-liveried EI-DEO has #greenspirit on the belly

SATA have 'The Atlantic and You' on the A320 bellies

Oh! FlyBE of course :)

This was painted on for the 'Flightfest' Airshow in Dublin.

Get one of those massive handheld torches farmer have, attach it to your lens, then run away before the Airport Police catch up to you! ;D ;D

Post by: smudge on May 06, 2017, 08:56:51 AM: Noticed an Austrian B763 streaming over this morning with SERVUS in red on the belly. Part of their latest livery tweak:

Quote
The Austrian / Bavarian greeting "Servus" means literally "I am your servant" or "at your service"
