Airline tail art: Flying the flag
Last week I bought you the third instalment in my new series, showcasing some of the most interesting, beautiful and impressive examples of airline tail art from around the world.
The flag carrier of a country is the airline designated or considered the national airline. As such, it often carries the nation’s flag, or a stylised flag, as part of the livery. Here are ten shots of airline tail art featuring the flags of various countries!
