This modernized design, especially our iconic globe, enhances the very best of United's image and values while pointing in the direction of where we intend to go next in serving our customers. The next iteration of United's livery prominently features the color most connected to the airline's core – blue.
JetBlue, the largest carrier at Boston's Logan Airport in the 2010s, unveiled a specially painted green airplane complete with Boston Celtics logos. It was the first time the airline co-branded a plane with an NBA team. Nicknamed “Lucky Blue,” the Airbus A320 was placed in regular rotation.
So why did JetBlue opt for such an unorthodox livery? As you may be able to tell from the logo on the aircraft's tail, it actually functions as a show of support for the Fire Department of the City of New York (FDNY).
Our most asked question on social media: “What do the blue planes mean?” Blue planes indicate aircraft are being tracked by satellite-based ADS-B receivers.
JetBlue keeps you connected with fast, free Fly-Fi (that's our high-speed gate-to-gate wi-fi) at every seat, on every plane. Up to 7” more legroom, the fast lane to TSA, and priority boarding—all the better to nab that overhead bin. You have options: Blue, Blue Basic, Blue Plus, Blue Extra or Mint.
In order to make the contrast between the brightness outside, and the darkness of the cockpit a bit less, the cockpits were given a bright colour to be less tiresome for the eyes. It's especially useful in cockpits with only a little lightfall from outside, in aircraft like the Tu-128P or MiG-23 and -25.
