Today we dive into the mystery of the Jet2 livery origin, and did they copy, or draw inspiration from, the US airline, Allegiant Airlines?
Jet2 Holidays is a UK leisure Airline, operating the likes of the Boeing 757, 737 and Airbus A321s, whereas Allegiant is an ultra-low-cost US based airline, but yet the two have remarkably similar paint schemes, what happened?

I am a German who sees condor planes from time to time. And you either love the livery or hate it. It definetely is iconic and a good marketing move. If you see the airline fairly often, you'll get used to it :)

​@@SebsTruckStopFor us Germans there is just two opinions about the nee condor livery You hate it Or You like It. But the old Thomas Cook livery ? Nope. We all hated it. Every single German hated it. The condor logo was missing except on the winglets and the condor logo is what we want on condor aircraft. Hence why condor created that hybrid mix livery out of the mast Thomas cook livery to bring the logo back, when Thomas Cook went bankrupt. Before going to that sock livery. In fact the hate for the name Thomas Cook was so great in Germany, that they had to repaint the airplanes again with the name "condor" written in large letters on them. When the company Thomas Cook (before they went bankrupt) acquired condor, They of course painted all aircraft the same and put the name "Thomas Cook" on the fuselage like with all airlines under the Thomas cook brand. So basically every Condor aircraft looked identical to the Thomas cook aircraft in the UK. Except a small *Powered by condor* painting near the tail. The backlash was so great and we Germans hated that name so much, that the customers were literally refusing to fly condor at all. It had such a negative impact on the airline, that thomas Cook was forced to repaint the aircraft remove the name Thomas Coom from the forward part of the aircraft and put the name condor back on the aircraft just to get the customers to return 😂😂 Because people were literally refusing to book flight with Thomas cook. So condor (owned by Thomas Cook) was therefore doing business as Condor with their original name instead of Thomas cook. The livery stayed the same but they were forced to put the name "condor" on the aircraft (with the exception of the thomas Cook logo on the tailfin) Which is the reason why condor was more or less the only airline in the Thomas cook group which was doing business under their old name/under a different name then Thomas Cook. Because 99% of all Germans were like: Who TF is that damn Thomas Cook ?!?! I want to fly an airline and no restaurant! Cook ? I though that's an airline and no kitchen?!? And why is his name written on that aircraft ?!? I want to go to my holiday destination with an airline and not call the airplane by the name of the owner?!? Screw it I'm flying Lufthansa or Air Berlin (Back then still existing) instead !! So Condor which survived the Thomas cook collapse and is now again a normal airlines is now of course using a livery with would immediately tell everyone: *It's a condor airplane* Because that is what we Germans want to know: Hey look that colorful sock there ? Yeah that's our airline codor from back home in Germany. We like that airline.

If what I've heard is true, the inspiration came from when Jet2 leased the two 75's from Allegiant, the ceo loved the livery so asked Allegiant could they copy the livery to use in Europe.

Absolutely ❤ Condors new livery. Instantly recogoniseable at any airport, holiday airline beach towel style and decades away from its Lufthansa beginnings! Too many white aircraft, bill board titles and logo tails, after all this is an airlines canvas to promote its brand, and this 'striped' theme continues inside the cabin and looks calssy and stylish. Well done Condors design team😉

This isn't a new phenomenon. Back in the 60s Channel Airways bought a load of Vickers Viscounts from the American airline Continental and was allowed to retain the rather smart golden livery that they had worn in the USA. The livery was adopted by other types in the Channel Airways fleet such as the One-Eleven and Trident. Not the Comet though which retained a basic Olympic Airways colour scheme as the company was running out of money by then. The airline folded in 1972.

Condor's new livery is unique and just fun. I'm glad someone strayed away from the new 'eurowhite' wave of liveries that has the tail colour extending down to the fuselage, with just a logo on the actual body. Condor's makes us talk about it which is what a business wants.

This goes back a while, but check out the TDA (Toa Domestic Airlines of Japan, later JAS and then JAL) A300 livery around 1980. It was basically the same as the rainbow color livery that Airbus used for demo flights of the A300 around at that time.

@virtualoriginal
@virtualoriginal 11 месяцев назад
When an airline joins an alliance part of the deal is they have to paint a percentage of the fleet in the alliance livery. That's why you see star alliance/one world/sky team liveries flying around. The star alliance livery is the second iteration with the 'clothes line' livery being the previous if im correct.

To what can you compare the new Condor livery? The Cheshire Cat? A barber pole? A prison uniform? A zebra? A Slinky? Tan lines? Condor flies A339 into my home airport (PDX) during the summer, and every time I see one fly over, I ask myself: "Why would a civilized human being do that to such a beautiful airplane?"

Great video! At least I now know who the copycat is. The old livery was way better than the Jet2holidays livery. It would be bless to see it painted on their A321neos but I don't think it's a possibility. Listen, never say never. Condor's livery is really starting to grow on me. At first I hated it with passion and now I'm starting to warm up to it. The only colour I'm not a fan of is the green.

So literally the only reason then is because Jet2 acquired a few Allegiant planes? So there's no real connection there, they just decided to share liveries. I guess that could have been summed up a lot quicker than it was.
