I thought it might be interesting to compile a list with pics, of airlines that feature a plant or animal as part of their livery. There is a twist, upload a pic of the airline of the aircraft type that airline has most of in its fleet at the moment. E.g 747, A320 etc, variant not important. State the animal or plant also.

 

Some good websites for fleet information:

 

CH Aviation

Wikipedia

 

I’ll start off with our national carrier, Qantas featuring the kangaroo

 

 

Include Qantas at the top of your post so we can start a list. Let's see how many we can find. One airline per post, let's keep this going for a while.

Yeah it is a great scheme. We'll stick to normal liveries Glenn to cut down the complexity.

 

1. Qantas.

 

Air New Zealand and the koru. It is a stylised representation of a fern frond unfolding and signifies new life, growth and renewal. ANZ has 14 737-300s, the most of any type.

My personal favorite, each aircraft as a part of its livery has a different animal found in North America (And I think even South America) on its tail. Major type 48 A319-111 aircraft,

Air China....not sure what its meant to mean, can anyone shed some light on this?

Its logo is a phoenix in the form of the abbreviation VIP. Not a real animal.
