Hi, fellow community, this will be my final African livery request. A request that I have been really been excited about doing, however, never got the time to get around to it. Now I do.
In the years, 1991-2011, SAA operated a total of eight B747-400’s. These routes covered international routes such as FAOR-KJFK, FAOR-EGLL, etc. Registrations of the following eight B747-400’s SAA operated are listed below.
Moreover, due to the high cost of maintanence, SAA stored or sold their B747-400’s. Even though SAA has retired all its’ B747-400’s, I find the SAA livery the most respectful and powerful on the B747-400. Therefore, when, and only when, there is a rework for the B747 family, I ask to please consider adding the SAA livery to the B747-400. Also another reason is because it was the largest aircraft ever operated by SAA.
it would not be a bad idea but for an aircraft that has retired I do not see why adding this, remembering that in the future the A330 will be redone and I believe that SAA will be added to it, so I’d rather wait and have a new SAA on the airbus, this is just my opinion
I don’t see why this should’t be added. If other airlines have their Queen added to IF why can’t we? It might be outdated but it will be key to stimulate flights on our Historic routes like FACT-KMIA. I’ll find a vote for this because the Queen belongs in the SAA colours too!
Sorry I’ve been away for a while. Recently got back into IFC… Was thinking about flying the 744 but then remembered we don’t have the SAA livery on the 744. Can we please get more votes for this iconic queen?
The old livery, I don’t like as much as the new one because it just looks plain and unattractive. It was also the livery during apartheid, which the new livery represents unity; it’s attractive; and it fits nicely on the 747-400. Additionally, it looks like a rip off of the current Singapore Airlines livery 😂.
