The latest Brussels Airlines Belgian Icon TinTin livery is a stunner.
A320 OO‑SNJ wears a moon and space theme, because “its connection to aviation through flight, altitude, and exploration made it a natural fit, while its clean aesthetic ensured a refined and balanced livery.”

There's much less colour in the skies these days, white seems to be the de facto base livery for most airlines. It wasn't always like this however, British Midland at Heathrow, United Airlines at Los Angeles, Northwest Airlines at Phoenix and Pacific Blue at Sydney pictured here.

Our big look at why clickbait articles on accessibility at airports are ill-informed or wrong and, frankly, often tinged with racism.
The air industry has a duty to call this out, and admit it contributes to the perception by creating airport environments hostile to even minor mobility issues.
