To mark its 75th anniversary, Air France has repainted one Airbus A320 in the same livery as existed in 1946. As ambassador of the company’s 75th anniversary, the plane, the F-GFKJ, will join the medium-haul fleet for the next two years. The aircraft has been named “Pays de Roissy,” which refers to the association aiming to expand the economic development of 110 communes situated around Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport. This livery features the seahorse symbol, which serves as a meaningful image to all Air France staff. As the emblem of Air Orient, it combines the head of Pegasus, the horse of Greek mythology, and the tail of the dragon Annam to form the symbol of the relationship between Europe and the Far East.
This story is told at www.airfrancelasaga.com through picture archives on the history of the company since its inception. The paint for the aircraft was made in five days at the La Croix du Sud maintenance site in Toulouse-Blagnac, as part of a major overhaul, consisting in taking apart all parts of the aircraft for inspection, repair, re-assembly and tests. It took 540 kilos of new-generation paint for this operation. The paint used needs very little solvent, which makes it more environmentally friendly. For more information, visit www.airfrance.com/us.
