Qantas reveals new livery and logo
Ron says:
Looks good until you get aft of the cockpit. In a few years some wunderkid will come up with the idea of putting wings on the kangaroo and he will be greeted as a messiah. Change for the sake of change.
Silver is more premium than gold? Colins says: As usual they would rather spend a shed load on this tripe and the quite awful new tech uniforms than actually fix or even recognise the real problems. Food [for god’s sake bin Perry I wouldn’t get a burger from his place], cabin service attitude especially in cattle class and quite how the fares charged can be justified when compared to other offerings is a constant source of disgust.

Ben says:
Wow, what a massive comment response. It just goes to show how much passionate opinion a change to the national carrier can elicit. I’m not a fan of Qantas and certainly not a fan of the new design. For others here that describe it as resistance to change etc, I would only say that change for the sake of change is not a good idea. I’m all for change but a pawless roo is a step too far. Think of it, the new roo is little more than a stylised letter T. Surely the national carrier can do better than that?
Steven says:
Take away the vintage kangaroo on the nose, and the red one from the engine nacelle (see the Boeing 787 drawing for example of how much cleaner an all white engine looks) and it could work, I think they work against the more modern image the livery is aiming at.
Gary says:
So many critics! The joys of being a “national carrier” where people think they actually own you without having to buy shares.
This design seems like a reasonable evolution to me.
Get over it folks.
Blackandwhite says:
100 different people 100 different opinions. I like it, the new ‘Q’ looks cleaner and the kangaroo looks more modern. Change always stirs up people who are afraid of change.
Jimmy says:
What are all these people sooking about?? Coming from a graphic design background, I LOVE the rebrand. The red gradient gives it a subtle depth and the font is a lot easier to look at. Also the roo is growing on me (you’d be stupid to say it doesn’t look like a roo). It’s nice and refreshing.
RAAF celebrates centenary of first flying squadrons
Random says:
Easily forgotten that these units were actually Army and not Air Force – so technically the Australian Army Aviation Corps is also 100 years young – albeit with a break in play. My grandfather was AFC and he was most distinctly Army, as were many of his colleagues from WW1.
Des says:
Congratulations on 100 years to the milk drinkers of the Fast Flying Fighting Turd and to 1, 2 and 4 Sqns.
Great display the Super Hornet, most impressive. Wettest parade I have ever seen, the troops got hammered.
Qantas mulls over leases of two Airbus A330-200s
Graeme says:
How about using them on the SYD- AKL route rather than the sardine packed B737s?
100 different people 100 different opinions.
