Air New Zealand is the most famous airline with an "All Black" livery, featuring a stunning jet-black fuselage with a silver fern on the tail as a tribute to the nation’s rugby team. In 2026, Etihad Airways has also entered the spotlight with a striking black-and-papaya livery on select Boeing 787 Dreamliners to celebrate its partnership with McLaren Racing. Another notable mention is Star Alliance members, who occasionally paint a single aircraft in a black "inverse" Star Alliance scheme. Historically, the boutique airline La Compagnie operated all-black planes, though their current fleet is distinctively "baby blue." These dark liveries are rare because black paint increases heat absorption, requiring more energy to keep the cabin cool on the tarmac.
