Thanks, ArtBKK!
Absolutely stunning! Without a doubt, my favorite new livery in the sky. Love the purple! What brilliant use of vibrant color in an industry where bland schemes often prevail. Perfect balance.

I think the natural beauty of the MD-11 aircraft combined with this classy and regal paint scheme makes for a beautiful combination. What a lovely bird, thank you for passing that one along...
And I agree, TG is doing things right with that new livery. It is certainly going to continue the regal look their aircraft have always carried. Wonderful.

Beautiful livery indeed. I also like TG's new livery. It looks good on the MD11 too. I do think that the new livery should have larger "THAI" letters on the fuselage. Other than that, the new livery is very nice. A job well done!!!

Perhaps I missed it being reported, but HS-TEF A330-300 is also flying in the new colours. Was in HKG last night.

One thing I don't understand.. Why doesnt TG move the logo a little further up from engine #2 to prevent the flower from getting "folded" like it is now? There is surely enough space up there!
They did the same with the DC10 and it never failed to get my attention on how ugly the corporate image suddenly became.

So now Thai needs to paint the B777-200 and B777-300.
All the 737s went to Nok right?

26 NA: While Thais old livery was not very good suited for the MD-11, the new one looks better on it than on any other type suddenly. The longer the airplane
27 Persotvik: CPH?? TG operate only B747-300 and B747-400 to CPH. Are they planning to use the MD11's there as well?
29 Cmd777300er: I'm just glad that they continue opperating the MD-11s. Great airplane. I think the new livery is pretty basic. I think I prefer the old livery.
30 FXMD11: After I flew BKK-JFK twice now in Premium Economy and also see the new livery being attached to more and more a/c I honestly have to admit that my nat

34 Lufthansa747: No. 747 only. No. Only 3 went to Nok. And don't forget the ATR and B743. HS-TJH will be in new colours shortly, being reconfigured and repainted in S
35 B767400ER: This is a really nice color scheme on this aircraft. Well done!
36 Nethkt: I really love MD11. I think TG new livery suits MD11s well! I am sure they will keep MD11s quite a while as TG is short of a/c at the moment!! Way to
38 6thfreedom: Can anyone confirm how many of TG's MD11's have already been refurbished and back in service, or how many will be in service by 20 JUL. I'm flying on
39 MIAMIx707: So far the only Thai aircraft that looks as good or better in the new paint vs the new paint. The tail engine makes for even more purple and seems the
42 HKGKaiTak: I think the old TG MD11 livery was fantastic and I'm still dirty on TG for ditching it . . . that said, if I have never seen the old livery I think th
43 6thfreedom: The last time TG used the MD11 via SYD was in winter 01 and summer schedule of 2002. post s11 operated as TG993/994 BKK-MEL-SYD-BKK. since then, this
44 6thfreedom: PS. Any Melbourne based TG fans should catch the MD11 prior to xmas, because after that, i'm almost 100% that the A346 will serve the sector on the da

46 6thfreedom: Out of curiosity, what's the range for the MD11. Can it cover 6,000 miles?
47 TGBoi: Nope, they are here to stay. Rumors have it that they may be converted to freighters, but it seems that the idea of a THAI Cargo fleet is being shelv
48 Bmacleod: I thought TG had retired their MD-11s. It's good to see a few airlines like KLM and TG hold on to their passenger MD-11s instead of retiring them for
49 Lufthansa747: 0. TMD should have the very old interior as well.
50 Aircanada333: I love Thai new colours they look so good.
51 MIAMIx707: Very true, glad to agree with you! The THAI MD-11 does look very good on that 3/4 photo above. The rear looks very pretty, but in most other angles t
