Why Was The Old 787-9 Air Canada Livery Removed?

Why did the previous Air Canada livery get removed on the 787-9 even though half of AC’s 787-9’s flying today still use it?

That is a very beautiful livery. In general, I prefer this than the new one. Canadians please don’t get offended!

Exactly, It fits the 787, atleast, way better than the current one.

Very overhated and underrated livery imo

A shame indeed! It blends in with snowy mountains so well!

Exactly, it doesn’t even make sense why they removed it, as there are literally 3 different-generation UAL liveries on the B772, and 2 on the B789

My guess is that they were having issues with storage when they added the new livery (there’s a thread regarding that on replacing the Continental 772 with Evo). But, again, they already had three AA 772s and four AA 738s even back then.

Yup, all this just sounds like a matter of inconsistency

This Canadian agrees with you. It’s nostalgic for me.

Shame this was removed😢

This livery on the 78 is so so beautiful but in my humble opinion so is the new livery. Seriously something about that black mask over the cockpit windows just does something :heart_eyes:
The 777 on the other hand, I would take toothpaste over the new livery every day of the week

I wonder if any devs have an answer to this… if so, I’d really like to know
