Azores Airlines – Whale
Azores Airlines is headquartered in the Azores, a Portuguese archipelago in the Atlantic. It used a blue sperm whale on the livery of one of its Airbus A330 planes to commemorate the islands’ position as a whale sanctuary.
The airline logo is also a whale tail, which is prominently shown on the plane’s tail.
The livery was unveiled to conjunction with the airline’s rebranding as Azores Airlines, following its previous name of SATA International.
Qatar Airways – Barcelona
Since 2013, Qatar Airways has had a sponsorship agreement with FC Barcelona, and in 2014, they debuted a special livery on their Boeing 777 that featured the club’s flag and crest, along with the motto “A team that unifies the world.”
The Barça scarlet and blue, or “Blaugrana” as it’s known in Catalan, covers half of the plane, and a clever shading element on the flag design looks to make it move upon takeoff.
