Abstract: This paper reports on the findings of a visual content analysis of 637 global airline liveries. It identifies the most common design features and reveals that the use of particular colours, colour combinations, visual motifs, typefaces, and design characteristics vary both by the nature of an airline's operation (whether full-service, low cost, regional, charter, or cargo) and its geographic origin. The significance of the findings for current and future practices of airline marketing and corporate identity management is discussed.
