  • Finnair New Livery, thoughts?

    [photoid=7000293]

    Well another disappointment from another great airline... It's a new Euro-WHITE plane. "Sigh" why? LOT's our next victim!

    I really hope that won't be around for long. I love the current colors, and think they are a clean and nice representation. These new liveries are starting to remind me of the awkward hybrids of the 90s and early 2000s.

      I've heard that this would be only a ''test'' livery and that they would apply the definite livery on an A330-300...But i don't know if this is true. I just know one thing: WHAT A F***ING UGLY PAINTSCHEME
      their current livery is so beautiful....i've seen their 757 sometimes here...they used to do some charters by the end of the year...and I don't want to see this one sticking around....

        I think the 757s are going soon so that wouldn't be a problem - It'll be interesting to see what aircraft will do the routes the 757s have done over the years!

          There has been a lot speculation as to this being or not being the final livery. I'm leaning towards it not being final livery.

          Officially the new livery(and logo etc.) will be announced on Monday at 0900 GMT, then we'll know for sure.

            There's still 3 years to their retirement. As for their replacement, Finnair ordered 5 A321ER's few months ago. The A321ER's will mostly replace the 757's and some routes will be replaced by A330's. There's already been increasing usage of A330 for long-haul leisure flights now that 3 757's have left the fleet.

              This is probably the worst scheme ever introduced on any airline. Even the tail fin is painted white.

              Seems that Finnair is trying to make their planes stealth against snow?

                I don't think it's so awful. I mean, where was y'all's outrage when Adria went with pretty much this exact thing?

                  Yes but Finnair went from boom (awesome) to meh (disappointment).

                    In my opinion the livery of Adria is different to the mentioned (interim-)Finnair-version.

                    The Adria-logo is a wonderful one in its own way with a double A (the lower A is being reflected in the Adriatic Sea) and this resulted in a heart-shaped logo at the same time. The typeface used generates a dynamic, soft image and the livery fits very well to nearly each type of aircraft due to its simplicity. Even the door frames are coloured in turquoise - it is instantly visible that the designers took a longer look at Adria Airways and this livery is more than 20 years old and timeless. This is a major advantage - a livery should not look modern, it should look timeless for several reasons but this is only my opinion. The interim-Finnair does not reflect Finland - this version could be advertise icecream, soap etc. and the typeface looks harsh.

                    The question is: what is the reason that Finnair wants to change a livery that was introduced only ten years ago? Why? The change from the classic livery to the current one was very dramatic but Finnair was able to develop a new image and now they want to change again...

                    (It´s only my opinion!)

                      At first I thought the paint was like almost black but it's lighter, nevertheless it looks terrible.

                        Gees they will lose the aircraft in a snowbank and it will be there until Spring!
                        Flying is the second greatest thrill known to man. Landing is first.

                              It's a real disappointment; how could an airline country famed throughout the world for design come up with something as bland as this? It's just "bleh"; the current livery was actually very nice and looked smart on all types; it attracted the eye. This just fades into the background - dull and grey.

                              I wonder what the Finnish media is saying about it; I wouldn't be surprised if public pressure resulted in a change of mind.
