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.

JetBlue’s “BluePrint” special livery is one of the airline’s more unique designs, drawing inspiration from aircraft schematics and technical drawings. Originally introduced on a now-retired Embraer E190, the livery is set to make a return — this time on one of JetBlue’s Airbus A220 aircraft.
The design features a white fuselage overlaid with thin blue lines, measurements, and aircraft outlines, mimicking the look of engineering blueprints used in aircraft design. The graphics extend across the full length of the aircraft, creating a layered and detailed appearance while maintaining a clean overall presentation.

Unlike JetBlue’s more familiar tail-focused liveries, which typically use bold geometric patterns, the BluePrint scheme distributes its visual elements across the entire fuselage. The tail is comparatively understated, allowing the blueprint-style artwork to remain the focal point of the design.
“jetBlue” titles are positioned along the forward fuselage in dark blue, consistent with the airline’s standard branding. The engines and winglets are finished in complementary tones, tying the design together without detracting from the intricate linework across the aircraft body.
