Virgin America has 30 A320NEO on order.

Hopefully they stay afloat long enough to actually receive them.

Passing through a rainbow. [x]

Since New Zealand just passed their same-sex bill by a vote of 77-44, I thought this would be a nice image to post.
Congrats to the Kiwis!

You know you fly Delta too much when the aircraft parked next to yours is one you’ve flown on before. N330NW.. We meet again!

LH’s second Sharklet-fitted A320 departing Hamburg.

The Sharklets definitely improve the A320’s appearance.. though it’s still nowhere near as sexy as the 737NG.

From Wikipedia.. Spain’s national carrier.

Though they are all-Airbus, have a dated livery, and have a knack for losing money.. Iberia holds a place in my heart. Maybe it’s because all of those things exemplify Spain, respectively: it is European (duh), feels more historical than most of the other Western European nations, and has a reputation for being a laid-back country.

AA and US have liveries that share the same very basic elements..

The gray seems to be the same shade.. and I still think that if the tail paint was darker it’d look better.

jetBlue is probably one of my favorite airlines.. although they’re all Airbus and have next-to-zero affiliation with Delta and Skyteam. They have a profitable business model and pretty strong branding. And their liveries are nice! I want to fly with them in the near future..

jetBlue, now flying with sharklets!

jetBlue is the first US carrier to have an A320 with sharklets, and also the first carrier to receive an A320 that was retrofitted to carry sharklets.

A month old.. Delta A320 descending into smoggy California.

Where we’re landing, we don’t need clean air!

The first commercial A320 with Sharklets departing Toulouse. [x]

A320 Sharklets have been certified by the EASA.
