Editor’s Note: AirlineGeeks is proud to present our ‘Livery of the Week’ series. Every Friday, a team member will share an airline livery, which can be from the past, present, or even a special scheme. Some airline liveries are works of art. The complexity associated with painting around critical flight components and the added weight requires outside-the-box thinking from designers. The average airliner can cost upwards of $200,000 to repaint, creating a separate aircraft repainting industry as a result.
Have an idea for a livery that we should highlight? Drop us a line.
WestJet currently maintains a distinctive livery featuring a teal color scheme. The airline’s logo, stylized with a maple leaf, is prominently displayed on the tail fin.
The fuselage is predominantly white with the carrier’s name, “WestJet,” displayed in a bold, modern font on the fuselage.
In recent years, WestJet has also introduced special liveries for specific aircraft, such as those featuring Disney characters. The carrier updated its standard livery in 2018.
