Re: Air India gets ready to reveal new livery and branding in August

Not everyone will think a new livery is ugly (I like the new lufthansa one per example). Persononaly, I don't mind it and don't see it as ugly(Ilike how the engines were done per example). I think judging a liery is subjective since people will have different tastes and standard.

There were ideas to fly it to japan/over europe, but it seems it relied to the plane being improved and from "concorde-Histoire d'un mythe", the negociation to allow concorde flying over the ussr started in 1974 and the russian asked about their plane being allowed to fly there too.

I know, I think if I do a what if tu 144S, it'll be as a joint operation with another airline like JAL. I'm guessing this would necessitate the autorization of the concorde and boeing SST to fly over the ussr since JAL had option for both.
