What airline has all black planes?

Since then, more of Air New Zealand's aircraft have borne all-black paint schemes, including, but not exclusive to, an Airbus A321neo, a Boeing 777, and a Boeing 787.



Air New Zealand is the most famous airline associated with all-black planes, featuring a stunning "All Black" livery as an homage to the nation's legendary rugby team. While their standard fleet is white with a black tail, they operate several special aircraft—such as their A321neo and Dreamliners—that are painted entirely in a sleek, jet-black finish with the silver fern logo. In 2022, they even unveiled the world’s first black Star Alliance aircraft to celebrate this iconic national identity. Another notable mention is Star Alliance itself, which allows member airlines to occasionally "inverse" their typical white livery for special editions. While other airlines like PLAY (bright red) or Spirit (yellow) use bold colors, Air New Zealand's "All Black" remains the gold standard for "luxury-stealth" aesthetics in the sky. In 2026, these planes continue to be a favorite for "plane spotters" globally, representing the spirit of Aotearoa (New Zealand) with every takeoff.
