Hello all, and a late Happy New Year! I'm pleased to host the first forum competition of 2022. 

Sunday, February 6th is Queen Elizabeth II's 70th anniversary of ascending to the throne, and it seems fitting to host something for this event. 

This short competition will last for 7 days (Today, February 3rd - Thursday, February 10th) 

Due to this challenge being so short, you may use designs that already exist on the gallery, however I encourage making something new.

I hope to have results and commentary out fairly soon after the deadline.

i am the gatekeeper of australian liveries. expect harsh criticism 

[LiamSCO]

This is my first ever submission so be kind

 

Airline Name: Mzansi Airlines

Based: O. R. Tambo International Airport (JNB), Johannesburg, South Africa

Group: 1

 

The design is very strongly influenced from South African although I have re-designed the tail design and swapped out the font/colours used on the aircraft fuselage. The word Mzansi is not only a nickname for South Africa but translates literally to "South" hence I thought it suited the brand fairly well. This design is based on the airline being the national flag carrier.  On the fuselage, the words 'Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika' is present. This is the title of the South African national anthem whilst translating to "Lord Bless Africa".

 

I hope you all like this design and if there's any tips please do let me know, as I said this is my first submission to a competition.

Australia is basically a humid version of a boring English. Beige livery is what they deserved.

Group 1

Air Canadien

IATA: CN | ICAO: CAN | Country: Canada | Hub: YUL - Aéroport international Montréal-Dorval (now Aéroport International Montréal-Trudeau)

 

Bringing back one of the first brands I ever uploaded to the gallery (and also one of my best received) - Air Canadien, a major Canadian legacy carrier founded in Montreal in the the late 1940s. Shown here is the airline's 1965 livery on its first Fokker F28 Mk1000, delivered in 1968. Air Canadien would go on to fly the F28 Mk1000C, Mk2000, and Mk4000, as well as F70 and F100 - all Fokker jet airliners bar the F28 Mk3000. During the time period depicted here it operated a variety of DC-8 and -9 variants, and would soon after go on to fly the DC-10, Boeing 767, 747-400, various MD-80s and eventually 737s, 777s, and 787s. Throughout its history and to this day, Air Canadien has remained one of Canada's largest and most premium carriers.

 

This Fokker in its original form has been on the gallery for almost four years at this point, but has now been recreated using an improved template and and much better Photoshop techniques than the super rudimentary way I used to create liveries back in 2018.

Group 1
Canadian International
IATA: CI | ICAO: CAN | Country: Canada | HQ: YYZ - Toronto Pearson Airport

This was my first ever fictional airline I have worked on for the AE community now revamped into a better detailed livery. Canadian International is an airline established in 1966 and is a major carrier of Canada. Today they operate above 200 aircraft and have a cargo and regional subsidiary (Canadian International Cargo Transport [CAICT Airlines]) and Canadian Regional. This airline (main airline) consists of Airbus A330-200's, Airbus A330-300's, Airbus A350-900's, Airbus A350-1000's, Boeing 737-800's, Boeing 737-900(ER)'s, Boeing 757-200's, Boeing 767-300(ER)'s, Boeing 777-200(LR)'s, Boeing 777-300(ER)'s, Boeing 787-9's and Boeing 787-10's.

Overall this airline has had an original livery which is still in my North American Livery sections however I decided for this competition I decided to make a newer and better livery using better techniques, logos, colors, details, and more.

Lore

Borealis Jet Express (BJEX) was founded in 1955 following the collapse of wartime airline Imperial Canadian Aviation Corporation (ICAC). The first routes were situated along the St. Lawrence river alongside a single 3-stop transcontinental flight between Vancouver and Montreal. The airline quickly grew internationally launching a vast network of overseas flights utilizing stopover flights on the Bristol Britannia. BJEX was quick to adopt the jet age by purchasing 50 English VC10s to take over long-distance operations. During this renaissance of Canadian aviation, BJEX was well known for First and Business class offerings with an exceptional sense for professionalism. The airline quickly introduced Boeing 727s and Fokker F.28s to create an extensive regional network with heavy growth in the US and Caribbean markets. 

 

With the introduction of the 767 in 1984, BJEX rebranded to Borealis and began a phase out of the classic tuxedo livery. In the years after, a heavy emphasis was placed on fleet modernity with the quick adoption of the early A320 variants as well as subsequent 767 variants. Nearing the Millennium, there was significant concern that the airline would not remain competitive in long haul markets as competing airlines were connecting the continents non-stop with aircraft such as the 747 and MD-11. Following negotiations with Boeing, both the 777 and 767-400ER fleet types were launched and ordered to assert dominance in international markets. Furthermore, Borealis ordered Bombardier CRJ-200s to replace Fokker F.28s and maintain it's small presence in Canadian feeder networks. 

 

In the 2010s, Borealis went through another rebranding adopting the livery that we know today. Additionally the airline placed mass orders for the Airbus A321NEO family as well as the Boeing 777X project. These will be introduced during the 2020s and replace much of the aging fleet. It is unknown what plans the airline has, if any, regarding the replacement of the 767 fleet, however it is rumored that the 767-400ERs and the 767Fs will soldier on until at least 2030. 

 

Borealis is a member of the Elite Airline Alliance as known in the game AirwaySim.
