Blue Air unveils new livery designed by the public
Blue Air has unveiled the new livery for its aircraft based at Liverpool John Lennon Airport based on a competition open to the public.
The airline will operate a 189-seat Boeing 737-800 aircraft from Liverpool from the end of March after choosing it as a new European base.
It launched a competition for the public to design the new livery for the aircraft.
Originally planning to award one winner, in the end the airline liked the ideas from three entries so much it decided to incorporate aspects from all three.
The winners are Kenny Thomson, Will L’armour and Jonathon Davidson, with the final design recognising Liverpool’s strong musical links, its warm welcome and famous city skyline.
Both halves of the city’s football support are catered for too through the use of both blue and red colours.
The Liverpool liveried aircraft will operate on Blue Air’s new routes to Rome, Milan, Hamburg and Alicante.
As well as seeing parts of their designs appear on the aircraft, all three winners of the competition will also each receive two free return flights from Liverpool to any Blue Air destination.
