JetBlue updates the New York Jets NFL logo jet for the 2025 season

JetBlue Airways and the New York Jets unveiled a new Jets-branded livery at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) on September 16. Named “J! E! T! B! L! U! E!” and designed with refreshed 2025 season branding, the aircraft showcases the team’s latest logos and colors, turning heads at 35,000 feet and on the tarmac.

The Airbus A320 aircraft (N746JB) was celebrated at a gate-side event, hosted by SNY’s Jeané Coakley, inside JetBlue’s Terminal 5 at JFK Airport. To celebrate the beginning of the 2025 season and the newly designed plane, JetBlue and team leaders were joined by tight end Jeremy Ruckert, linebacker Quincy Williams, and Jets legends Marty Lyons and Erik Coleman. Customers on the celebratory flight were treated to exclusive photo opportunities and autograph signings with Ruckert, Williams, Lyons and Coleman, and received Jets gift bags with team-branded shirts and hats at their seats on “J! E! T! B! L! U! E!”.

Named after the team’s iconic gameday chant, “J! E! T! B! L! U! E!” swaps JetBlue’s iconic blue for a Jets traditional green paint scheme, with white wings and white stripes inspired by the team’s jersey sleeves across the back of the fuselage. The plane’s belly, engines, tail, and doors all boast prominent Jets logos and branding, making the team visible to both customers and plane spotters on the ground and in the sky.

A long-time partner of the New York Jets, JetBlue became the team’s Official Airline in 2009 and later reaffirmed that commitment with a livery design dedicated to the team one year later. “JetGreen” originally debuted in 2010, becoming the first sports-themed aircraft to join JetBlue’s fleet, before an updated Jets-themed plane was launched in 2017. The partnership has since expanded to include joint marketing, in-stadium activations and exclusive promotions for more than 15 years.

Pelita Air has long operated charter flights, mainly in support of Pertamina’s oil and gas operations in Indonesia.

Meanwhile Garuda Indonesia has been suffering from its staggering pandemic losses, which has been aggravated by its long-term debt and on-going corruption.

Will Pelita Air succeed Garuda?

Rumors persist that Pelita Air may take over Garuda.

https://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2021/10/22/govt-prepares-garuda-contingency-plan-as-carrier-faces-court-decisions.html

The history of Pelita Air:

When two state oil companies – Pertamin and Permina – were merged to form Pertamina, the need to establish a special air service becomes a primary priority to support Pertamina’s growing need of oil and natural gas exploration, exploitation, as well as transportation of personnel and/or cargoes.

In 1963, as a result of growing operational needs, an air service department was established within Pertamina called Pertamina Air Service. Seven years later (1970), Pertamina established PT. Pelita Air Service (PAS) – closing the doors on air division of Pertamina – through the establishment of an autonomous subsidiary to provide continuous flight operations.

Defining the company as a commercial air carrier, PAS was given a mission of performing flight operations in the broadest sense of the world, to economically serve and coordinate flight operations within the oil and gas industry in Indonesia by way of charter flights and related activities. This includes:

  • Transmigration
  • Fire Fighting
  • Refugees
  • Red Cross
  • Oil Spills
  • Aerial Photo
  • Cargo Transportations

On the back of a long tradition, successful track record and expertise, PAS obtained financial independence from Pertamina (1981) to increase its competitiveness beyond the domestic commercial aviation industry and compete internationally. Today, PAS extended world-class services are :

  • VVIP
  • Offshore
  • External Load such as banner and short/long sling line
  • Medical Evacuation
  • Seismic Operation
  • Geological Survey
  • Helirig
  • Helicopter Pilots For Hire
  • Support and Training

Being more than 45 years of solid experience since 1970 with many types of airplanes and services supporting its business, has given PAS a well-deserved repute among the users of its services to be able to compete and stay outstand. For these reasons, PAS has continually trusted to render its services to the President and other dignitaries of the nation. Trying to expand another line of business, we had experienced the regular flight since 2000 until 2005, for many routes across the country. In order to be more focus in our main business, then we decided to concentrate in air flight charter by shutting down the regular flight.

Our maintenance subsidiary, PT. IndoPelita Aircraft Services, has the ability and expertise of conducting maintenance and repair work from its exclusively owned airfield in Pondok Cabe (south Jakarta) consisting of hangar, warehouse and a 2,000 meters runway.

Volotea to add up to 19 Airbus A320s to expand its A319 fleet

Volotea has accelerated its fleet transformation for Summer 2021, becoming a 100% Airbus operator, phasing out entirely its Boeing 717s and adding 15 to 19 Airbus A320s. The company has already sourced 15 A320s and will add up to 4 more based on last minute summer demand.

With the addition of the 180-seat Airbus A320s, Volotea will increase its fleet capacity by 15% of seats.

Volotea evolves into a single fleet operator, in a move favoring the European manufacturer Airbus, through the early retirement of its fourteen Boeing 717 aircraft and their replacement by 15 to 19 Airbus A320s.

The fleet renewal is part of Volotea’s review of its strategical, financial, and operational plans in the context of the crisis generated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The company has already sourced 15 A320s and will add up to 4 more based on last minute summer demand.

Volotea was founded in 2011 by Carlos Muñoz and Lázaro Ros, previously founders of Vueling, and is one of the fastest-growing independent airlines in Europe, increasing year-on-year its fleet, routes served, and seats offered. Since its start, Volotea has carried more than 30 million passengers across Europe.

Volotea is based in 16 European mid-sized capitals: Asturias, Athens, Bilbao, Bordeaux, Cagliari, Genoa, Hamburg, Lyon (opening in 2021), Marseille, Nantes, Naples, Palermo, Strasbourg, Toulouse, Venice and Verona. Volotea currently flies to 90 cities across 14 countries and plans to fly to a new country in 2021 by opening routes to Algeria from France.

In 2020, Volotea signed an agreement with Bureau Veritas, a world leader in testing, inspection and certification, in order to verify the successful implementation of health and hygiene measures. Volotea is the world’s first airline to have its preventive measures against COVID-19 audited by Bureau Veritas.

Brussels Airlines honors Flemish Master Pieter Bruegel with a new logo jet

Brussels Airlines has made this announcement on its latest logo jet scheme on Airbus A320 OO-SNE.

An ode to one of the most talented artists of the sixteenth century.

Known for his folk tableaux and scenes from rural life, Flemish Master Pieter Bruegel the Elder allowed his imagination to work like no other, painting classical themes in a very quirky and humorous way.

Moved and touched by the tough life in the countryside, he captured the life of the common man in a masterly manner.

And most importantly, he has given Belgium a very rich art history to be proud of.

This is why we have created Bruegel as part of our aircraft series in honour of Belgian icons. Because this is what Pieter Bruegel The Elder is.
