Key Takeaways:

  • Caribbean Airlines initiated a rebranding in 2020, resulting in a refreshed logo and modernized aircraft livery.
  • The updated livery notably retained the iconic hummingbird symbol, deeply connected to Trinidad and Tobago.
  • A central feature of the new visual identity is the prioritization of a purple color scheme across its fleet of Boeing 737 and ATR aircraft.

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.

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.
