Kulula – Flying 101
Low-cost With its Flying 101 design highlighting different elements of the jet, South African carrier Kulula was a contender for the most inventive livery design a few years ago.
An arrow pointing up from the cockpit’s exterior reads, “Big cheese — Captain, My Captain!”
The “black box” flight data recorder’s location is even marked with a large arrow. We have yet to find a better or more spectacular approach to comprehend what lies beneath the skin of a plane.
Brussels Airlines – Tintin
Cartoon figures are a common motif on aircraft liveries, as shown here by Brussels Airlines’ tribute to Tintin, one of Belgium’s most renowned sons.
Tintin and his devoted sidekick, the wire fox terrier Snowy — or Milou in the original French — also appear on the plane, which assumes the shape of a 37-meter shark submarine from the Tintin adventure “Red Rackham’s Treasure.”
The books are available in English, French, and Dutch for reading on the plane.
