What it claims is the world’s first Star Alliance livery has been unveiled by Air New Zealand. The airline’s newest A321neo will sport a one-of-a-kind look – a jet black Star Alliance livery.
The carrier’s Chief Transformation and Alliances Officer, Mike Williams, said that the A321neo is the world’s first black Star Alliance aircraft.
“While Star Alliance livery is typically white with a black tail fin, we asked if we could do something a little different and inverse the colours in celebration of how important black is to Air New Zealand and New Zealand.
“Black is an iconic Kiwi colour. From sports jerseys to gumboots, black is embedded in New Zealand’s national identity and worn with pride, so it’s fantastic to welcome this aircraft with its special black livery into our fleet”.
All member airlines include Star Alliance livery in their respective fleets to mark and promote Star Alliance.
Siu Ling Fock, Vice President for Alliance Development and Communications, Star Alliance, said: “As the largest and longest-running airline alliance in the world, Star Alliance honours each of our 26 member airlines’ distinct heritage, character and style”.
The new aircraft, which can seat up to 217 passengers, will be one of three A321neos to join the airline’s fleet in the coming months. The aircraft will fly on the airline’s domestic network.
