Kiwis will see a new star in the sky over Aotearoa as Air New Zealand reveals its world-first Star Alliance livery. The airline’s newest A321neo will sport a one-of-a-kind look – a jet black Star Alliance livery.
Air New Zealand’s Chief Transformation and Alliances Officer Mike Williams says 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. Kiwis missing the Koru need not look too far – our iconic mangōpare will feature on the wingtips in this one-off design.”
