One of my entries into the 2021 AE Arabic Design Contest.
Established in early 2004 with a single ex-Lufthansa 737, Air Azurite (branded as azurite) is a Egyptian low-cost carrier based at Hurghada International Airport in Egypt. After taking delivery of a ex-America West Airbus A320 in December of the same year, the airline has since established a 29-strong fleet of Airbus A320s.
In 2018, the airline refreshed its 14-year-old livery and brand identity by rebranding to azurite, introducing a modern new livery and shade of blue as well as a new tail design featuring oversized Arabic titles. At the 2018 Farnborough Airshow, Air Azurite placed an order for fifteen new A320 series aircraft as well as options for a further seven. The Air Azurite fleet currently consists of the following aircraft:
Airbus A320-200 - x18
Airbus A320neo - x8
Airbus A321neo - x3
