It could be worse, and certainly doesn't rub my eyes the wrong way as much as some other airline's changed livery has previously.

I might be the only one but I think this new livery is horrible and a big step backwards from the current one.
SAS in big letters once on each side of the plane is enough, twice says they were unimaginative and boring. |
I also think it is less terrible than expected. I think it will be fine. But I agree the old design looked much more professional (with the subtle Scandinavian Airlines on the fuselage and the red engines). This design looks a bit like made by an intern in the marketing department. I would probably preferred if they combined the new tail design with the old fuselage and engines. But it could have been much worse. I won't be ashamed boarding this though.

The old livery was a pain to paint with over 5 different colours to apply. Plus the colour combination made the aircraft look like a cheap hooker. Still, while expensive and time consuming to apply, it had a least the advantage to leave some kind of impression on the passengers. The new livery is just... bland, souless and the perfect fit to an airline that leaves travellers indiferent. The 1980's stripes and national shields was so much more personal and stylish....

Unless you put 2 birds next to each other, I think most pax's will have a hard time telling you what is old and what is new on the livery. |

Looks like this one could be the first A320 delivered in the new livery. It hasn't been in the air yet, and there are 3 other A320 in XFW in the old livery which hasn't been in the air yet either.

Is it a fixed feature of the A320NEO to have the black mask around the cockpit windows like the A350? It. Does look good on the A320 though.

I doubt they will repaint new A320s even if they haven't been delivered yet.
|
Iberia Neos wear the mask but I haven't seen it anywhere else.

Reminds me off:

Air Canada has the mask on all aircraft types:
