Re: Updated: SAS presenting new livery

The only thing that looks like Lufthansa to me is the tail design. And the color isn't identical. As for the rest, the engines have a different base color as well as the blue ring and "Scandinavian" logo, the fuselage is a different color than Lufthansa (allegedly) and has a huge "SAS...

Re: Updated: SAS to present new livery by September 19th, 2019

So it looks like the thin blue ring around the nacelles is confirmed based on SAS’ own teaser on Facebook. https://check-in.dk/sas-praesenterer-nyt-livery-i-naeste-uge/ Disappointed with this decision. Anyway I’m looking forward to seeing the entire livery I actually think it might look quite good,...

Re: Updated: SAS to present new livery by September 19th, 2019

I love that livery as well. Of course partly because of nostalgic reasons, it being the SAS livery I grew up with as a kid in Sweden, but also because I like how they managed to squeeze all the Scandinavian flag colors in there, and letting them occupy significant space on the fuselage, without it l...
