The German airline Condor is upgrading its fleet, and with new airplanes comes new paint. This stripes theme seems reminiscent of beach towels and awnings. So far, only the new A330neos seem to be getting the all-over stripes; the older A330s that I've seen only have stripes on the tails. The reaction among my coworkers has been pretty mixed, but I like it. I especially like the planes of different colors; anybody remember the jellybeans and flying colors of Braniff?
Before the Airbuses and the new livery, Condor brought B767s into LAX:
I'd like to think that this will start a move away from the boring Euro paint schemes of a white body with a coloured tail. I think I'm being hopeful.
