What are the pink airplanes?

One of Delta Air Lines' various special liveries is known as the 'Pink Plane,' as it commemorates the Atlanta-based SkyTeam founding member's partnership with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF).



The pink airplanes most commonly seen in the skies belong to Delta Air Lines or the ultra-low-cost carrier Wizz Air, though for very different reasons. Delta has a famous "Pink Plane" (a Boeing 767-400ER) painted in a vibrant livery to support the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF); it serves as a flying billboard for awareness and has helped raise millions of dollars for research since 2005. On the other hand, the European airline Wizz Air uses a distinct pink and blue (or fuchsia) branding across its entire fleet, making their planes instantly recognizable at airports throughout Europe and the Middle East. Additionally, in the United States, Southwest Airlines occasionally operates a plane with pink accents as part of their "LUV" branding or specific charity partnerships. Seeing a pink plane is often a highlight for "planespotters" because these liveries depart so significantly from the standard white "Eurowhite" paint schemes that dominate the aviation industry today.
