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.

Caribbean Airlines has undergone a notable evolution in its visual identity, particularly concerning its aircraft livery. In 2020, the airline initiated a rebranding effort, resulting in a refreshed logo and a modernized livery design.

A key element of this rebranding was the retention of the iconic hummingbird, a symbol deeply connected to Trinidad and Tobago, often referred to as “the land of the hummingbird.”

The color palette of the carrier now prioritizes a purple color scheme across its fleet. The carrier currently operates a fleet of Boeing 737 and ATR aircraft.
