Ugliest Airline Liveries

As Air New Zealand unveils a new livery, take a look at some of the ugliest airline liveries (in the view of the Telegraph) to ever take to the skies.

The ugliest airline liveries - Telegraph

Now I have to disagree with some the Telegraph’s choices, as some of the liveries look rather nice to me; but as they say, “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”.


My ugliest livery nominee
ANA’s Pokemon plane. As if the livery wasn’t bad enough, the design was carried into the cabin - imagine 14 hours of looking at a Pokemon (whatever that is)
Beat this if you can.:o

Funny you should say that. I was flying IAH-DEN today, and played Pokemon on that flight for the first time in years since I had nothing else to do, and it wouldn't use my remaining tablet battery life that quickly compared to other options.

Most of those "ugly" liveries were just fine. The Pokemon, however, is just too much of everything. I wonder who okayed that design? And, okay, maybe this is childish of me but Wizzair? Really?

I can't believe men think NokAir livery looks that bad...

Calendars are so old fashioned.. Avianova Ends Service Barely a Year After Producing Greatest Airline Commercial Ever at NYCAviation

Shame they went under... and weren't US-based. I'm such a male.

Hey, coloavs! You're this >< close to 1,000 flights!

Yea, gotta do some updating. Taken 4 more, so only 4 away. It might be something really exciting, like ATL-SAV..

Oh man, lucky!

Not.

I love the HA livery!! I can't believe that was on the list! I also kinda like the new NZ planes... Then again most people I talk to don't like the new AA livery but I personally think it looks great. lol

I agree with your pokemon nomination Migflanker! lol

Is it wrong that I actually like most of these? It's nice to see companies actually get creative. Though the Germanwings one looks like the designer was colorblind and used the wrong hue, S7 looks a little out of place to have that kind of color with nothing else to go with it, Air Jamaica isn't as bad as it is outdated, and Wizz Air sounds more like something you'd encounter in a small room on the plane that you can only hope has enough blue juice to get you by.

WizzAir always makes it onto the list of worst airline names ever.


Others on the worst airline names list:

Carpatair (Romania) Flying carpets anyone?
Hooters (US)
Jazz (Canada)
Mango (South Africa)
Peach (Japan)
Song (US)


My nomination for the worst airline name ever
TED (US) I know some focus group probably thought the name was clever - using the last three letters of UNITED - but I just always wondered when we were going to meet “UNI”
Plus it didn’t help that United used this strange “Who’s TED?” campaign to promote the airline.
Brian you were probably in high school.:D

Crazy how time flies. Reviewing my manifest today and I pointed out the pax w/ 1992 DOB seated in the exit row and reminded my customer rep that pax must be at least 15 to occupy exit row........she reminded me it's currently 2013...pax is 21 years old........I guess maybe I'm getting old :)

Recirc lavs.....My Favorite! I used to always travel w/ a supply of the dissolving powder packets (blue balls, giggitty) and freshen the lavs in flight. Also helps when a local environmental agency bans you from using the chemical......you can depart w/o it, and add it once you take off........just no air returns or you'll get caught!

Not a fan. ^_^
