Until then, NW-registered airplanes retain the "NORTHWEST" callsign regardless of what livery they are wearing, and air traffic controllers, at least in the U.S., now call out "NORTHWEST 123 in Delta colors" as standard to avoid confusion.

I was thinking about that, the new UA livery tail fin is quite nice, and would've been a good choice here too.Originally Posted by ORDnHKG
Obviously it isn't, SQ *A livery planes actually has the SQ logo on the tail fin instead of the Star logo.

I was on this bird for PVG-SFO yesterday. I was walking down jetbridge and noticed the 'different' looks. I was not aware UA had a/c painted in Star Alliance color.

I believe I flew this aircraft of SFO-SYD on 12/25.

Look at the tail on their Star Alliance livery, and look at the tail on all the others.

I believe United is the only one of the airlines represented in these photos to have changed their livery since (twice, now). Am I right? I only ask because I was thinking that alliance livery format would be a serious pain to maintain if/when a given airline changes livery and/or airlines join or leave (or, in the case of Varig, disappears).

Thai and AC has a new livery (Thai's is pretty drastic; AC painted their planes a light 1970s toilet bowl light blue and refreshed the AC font a bit). Lufthansa is the same. Varig is...well...adeus. SAS has a small refresh (those colored slanted lines are gone).

This thread is NOT going to entertain legacy CO livery versus legacy UA livery discussion.

I saw a UA plane in StarAlliance paint yesterday and I was wondering with the new livery, will they just remove the "tulip"? Or is there anything else that needs to go?
