Fantastic pictures as usual :hatsoff:

I love the ones with the approach lights, it's great to see something a little different.

Ta.like to take some "arty farty" ones for a bit of variety.

Personally I think EZY's new livery is like a breath of fresh air.

 

[nwoody2001]

dare I say with 777 from Turkmenistan and PIA, and 787 from Air India, BHX is looking like a true international airport from your few pictures there Ray

Good to see Air Malta in daylight, too. I definitely prefer Easyjet's new colours, does anyone else here?

I haven't seen one in real life yet so it's hard to say. I have to admit that I don't worry too much about the way an aircraft is painted. The service on board, the routes offered and frequency are what concern me most.

That said, the picture of the easyJet shows a livery that is neat to my eyes. I read elsewhere that some people believe it's a bit old fashioned in design. Fashions seem to come and go and then come back again in many walks of life.

Hope we'll be seeing the new AA livery here, I realise their old one was viewed as a classic but I never cared for for the bare metal look. The new one is much more pleasing on the eye IMHO.

 

[nwoody2001]

well I believe on a Saturday morning well have Emirates, United, American Airports and PIA all on the ground at the same time???? would be a good photo op then?

 

[jfy1999]

Not PIA, I'm afraid, they only do evening flights, but we could have all the others you mentioned, plus the Thomson 787 and 757s, and on another day we could have all those plus the Hainan 767-300 and whatever Turkmenistan use if they have a morning flight.
Most of the transatlantic AA 757s I've seen on FR24 have the new livery, I think we'll be seeing it much more often than the old.

Thanks,simon.

 

[jfy1999]

:clapping: Fantastic lineup of new airlines. I see YL-LCL has lost its Corendon scheme (the pictures on FR24 are not always up to date :s_no
It's the Hannover and Paderborn charters that are bringing the variety. Long may it continue :s_thumbsup

I feel your pain, it's happened to me before. It's even more annoying when you're there for something specific.

They're all still fantastic pictures though with some great liveries. I really like the one of the Monarch A330 with EK landing in the background :hatsoff:

 

[jfy1999]

In my opinion the SAS retro livery looks nicer than their current one. Feel free to disagree!
VLM is very smart and TF-FIU has to have the best livery ever applied to a 757. I also like the fact that with planes coming for MAEL we can have several heavies on the ground at the same time.
