Cyprus Airways has taken delivery of its first Airbus A319 aircraft since Charlie Airlines won the right to work under the Cyprus name in July 2016. The carrier's corporate design elements were created by the British agency Landor. The pastel shades were chosen for the livery to replicate the various colours of the Mediterranean Sea surrounding the island. The olive branch, the main symbol of Cyprus that can also be found on the national flag of the republic, is depicted on the tail unit and engine nacelles of the plane. The former mouflon logo used by Cyprus Airways is still featured on the aircraft, next to the plane's front exit. Part-owned by Russia's S7 Airlines, the new Cyprus Airways is set to begin operations next year.
I love the resurrection of Cyprus Airways and the olive as its amblem. The problem I have is with the pale green. It just does not convey confidence. It looks cheaper than it would with the dark green belly and engine cowlings. But, Im not about to nitpick... May it fly the friendly skies.
ReplyDeleteTrue, it looks like darker green worn off by time.
