8. Oneworld: Standard Oneworld livery
âą
To commemorate Oneworldâs tenth anniversary observance in
February 2009, the new (optional) Oneworld livery was
introduced; this livery features the name of the alliance in big
letters that are approximately two metres (6.6 ft) tall and the
alliance logo along the fuselageâs side, on a white or a polished
metal background.
âą
As with the Star Alliance and SkyTeam members, the name of
the operating member airline is put in smaller lettering in a
normal position at the front of the aircraft just under the
name of the alliance and the logo.
âą
Every member airline also keeps its current tailfin design.
