A ‘love of flying’

Just ahead of the 25th aircraft addition to their fleet, FlySafair has unveiled a new logo and livery design for all their aircraft.

The new livery highlights the airline’s 57-year-old legacy with a navy-blue stripe at the foundation of the aircraft. Above that, the stripe in its famous pink proudly represents who the airline is today, as well as the future of its business. In the centre of both these stripes sits the lighter blue stripe, which symbolises infinite possibility and blue skies, where past and present meet.
