American Airlines debuts new livery! What do you think? [View all]



Oh hey, American Airlines you’re looking different these days. Did you do something to your fuselage? Is that a new logo you’re sporting? The airline is treating itself to a revamped look for its fleet of planes, the first makeover it’s done to its exteriors since 1968, including an updated logo as part of the paint job.

The planes’ new ‘do, or livery as its called in the industry, is partly a result of its newer jets. Those jets include composite materials that can’t be polished like the current aluminum fuselages are, notes USA Today.
