Jin Air's livery on a Boeing 737-800
Air Jin was the hardest to find a good picture of their livery. I guess they are pretty new, starting in 2008, only fly to two destinations (Seoul and Bangkok) and they only have four Boeing 737-800’s. I think the extra work was worth the effort.
I really like the neon green with the teal and purple. They have a few butterflies on their website (careful, it seems to only like Internet Explorer) that matches quite well.
Jin Air is a low cost airline based in Korea and subsidiary of Korean Air. Although they currently have only 2 destinations, they are hoping to expand to Macau and Guam in the near future.

Preview what the Boeing 787 Dreamliner will look like in different airline liveries (scroll down a little bit for the custom liveries). From Aeroflot to VLAC.
It is great seeing the different designs in 3D on the computer screen, but I can’t wait to see them in person (of course you can already see ANA’s livery on the 787).
If the Boeing 787 liveries don’t distract you enough, you can also check out the new Boeing 747-8 Highlights page via Boeing.

Court Line One-Eleven in awesome pink
Court Line as a major playing in the holiday charter business in Britain during the 70’s. With the purchase of One-Eleven 500s, the airline went with a very special
pastel combinations on their airplanes: yellow/gold/orange, pink/rose/magenta, pale violet/mauve/purple and light green/mid-green/forest green.
In 1973 Court Line took a big risk and took delivery of two Lockheed L-1011’s. Then the 1970’s oil crisis hit and in 1974, Court Line filed for bankruptcy.

This Boeing 747-200 is a Jumbo Hostel
So, it might not technically be an airline, nor can the plane fly. The livery itself is really kind of bland, but the concept is pretty cool.
This plane is the Jumbo Hostel, which is a land based hostel. The Boeing 747-200 has 25 rooms and 85 beds.
The Jumbo Hostel is located in Stockholm, Sweden, so if you don’t live near by, you might need to take a flying Boeing 747 to get there. Some additional information:
* Jumbo Hostel’s official website
* CNN Video about the hostel
* Pictures of the inside and outside

Alaska Airline's Boeing 737-900 (N318AS) with Spirit Of Disneyland II livery
Last Saturday, Alaska Airlines showed off its newest livery, “Spirit of Disneyland II.” Back in 2002 Alaska announced their “Spirit of Disneyland I” livery, which was retired about two weeks ago. Can you tell which one of Mickey’s friends was missing on the first livery?
Because they used a Boeing 737-400 on the first livery, it wasn’t long enough to include Pluto, but since the newest livery is on a Boeing 737-900 (which is about 20′ longer), Alaska was able to include Pluto, re-uniting Mickey and his closest four friends.
The new livery took over 300 gallons of paint, 120 gallons of paint remover (before painting the new livery), and 32,400 feet of tape (which is 108 football fields).
Not only did Alaska show off their new plane, they also flew three “Make a Wish” children from Portland, down to LAX to go to Disneyland.
“When a child with a life-threatening medical condition wishes to meet a Disney character or visit a Disney park, we know that Alaska Airlines and Disneyland Resort are there to make it a dream-come-true,” said Andrew Asato, Make-A-Wish Foundation of Oregon executive director. “With donated tickets and passes, as well as extra-special treatment for wish families, these partners have each provided an unduplicated resource to the Make-A-Wish Foundation for more than 20 years.”
Alaska Airlines has supported the Make-A-Wish Foundation since 1985 and provides air transportation allowing about 80 children’s wishes to be granted each year. The airline invites members of the Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan to donate frequent-flier miles to the Make-A-Wish Foundation through the Charity Miles program. To make a donation of miles, visit alaskaair.com and click on the “Mileage Plan” and “Charity Miles” links.
