Ordem e Progresso: Azul flies the Brazilian flag

From the snow-covered wild Siberian forests to warm and colourful Brazil - looks like aircraft livery designers are not short of work nowadays.

Brazilian airline Azul has gone full-patriotic with its Brazilian flag livery. It certainly helps to have a rather original and photogenic flag to draw from, but this does not detract from the fact that it makes for a beautiful livery.

Right now Azul has two types of aircraft in its fleet sporting the Brazilian Flag livery: a Brazilian-made Embraer E-195, called "Azul Brasil" has been added to an Airbus A330, with which Azul covers routes to the US and Europe.
