German Airways is sending its fleet of eight Embraer E190 aircraft to Technik for a comprehensive rebranding.
The first aircraft in the new design has left the maintenance hangar at Cologne/Bonn Airport with a modern and dynamic look. Aircraft D-AJHW will undergo final maintenance work in the next few days, after which it will return to scheduled service at short notice.
One feature of the new livery is the redesigned tail fin. It displays a dotted black, red and gold flag that is distinguishable from the aircraft fuselage.
The winglets are also designed in the German colors. The flag-carrier color scheme was already an integral part of the design in the previous livery. The airline is now refraining from displaying the company name on the tail and instead letting the colors speak for themselves.
“After almost five years of use, the German Airways brand has become firmly established in the European market. We are delighted to be able to present the new look almost simultaneously with the start of the current summer flight schedule,” explains Maren Wolters, managing director.
Wolters adds, “As a service provider with typically German quality characteristics, such as reliability and high technical performance, we would also like to take the next visual step.”
Currently, most of the aircraft in the fleet are in use for KLM Cityhopper and will now also bear the words “Operating for KLM Cityhopper.”
Maren Wolters says, “We are very proud that we are able to integrate the logo of our strategic partner into the new design – a very important symbol of the appreciation of our performance.”
The recently completed redesign of the first aircraft marks the start of the redesign of the entire fleet. With this step, German Airways is focusing on a modern appearance and on a clear recognition value of its home country.
