A flag carrier doesn’t always have to carry the flag; in fact a nation’s official airline’s art might just as likely to depict a crest, a government symbol, or a national icon.

A flag carrier often carries the nation’s flag, or a stylised flag, as part of the airline’s tail art.

Homa, horus and angels… birds or mythical creatures often serve as inspiration for airline tail art.

Airline tail art often uses birds as inspiration for its livery, painted in a variety of colours and styles.
