bendejo Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 A few weeks ago, while passing Don Muang, I saw from the bus window a few airliners painted to look like a clown fish. Does anyone know which company this is? For those who are wondering, this is what a clown fish looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geriatrickid Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 That is butt ugly. Walt Disney would be proud though. And yet it is eye catching. When people see the Nok bird they will remember the brand. Excellent little airline and I prefer it to Air Asia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomatopo Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Which bird is that HS-DBH, and HS-DBJ meant to represent? I guess DD are refitting their 737-800's inside, and out. The newer livery, while utilizing different color schemes seem less bird-species specific? http://www.airliners.net/photo/Nok-Air/Boeing-737-86J/2252598/&sid=cfa9ba49e9f8c0ca678034dc0af11eb0 http://www.airliners.net/photo/Nok-Air/Boeing-737-8AS/2233947/&sid=0389bd152c443b1316bc25e901a988f3 http://www.airliners.net/photo/Nok-Air/Boeing-737-83N/2222643/&sid=0389bd152c443b1316bc25e901a988f3 http://www.airliners.net/photo/Nok-Air/Boeing-737-8FH/2222401/&sid=0389bd152c443b1316bc25e901a988f3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bendejo Posted May 25, 2013 Author Share Posted May 25, 2013 Thanks for the pic. I didn't see the 'beak' from the bus window. Let's just hope it's not an Angry Bird that will crash into a pig farm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, never seen that, but then I confess I don't see many AirAsia airplanes. Good marketing ploy I guess. Bet they make a pretty penny off that, too bad the passengers of that airplane don't get a discount on drinks or something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lomatopo Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Some creative liveries Just out of curiosityy anyone know how much it costs for a paint job on a plane I think there may be far too many variables to cover any/all bases? Type of aircraft, design - obviously some of these liveries may be time-consuming, where the works is done... I did find this quote from a recent article: Because aircraft manufacturers typically provide an airline's chosen paint job as part of the purchase price, American will be getting a lot of free paint as it takes delivery of hundreds of new aircraft in the coming years. But it also intends to repaint its existing planes that it plans to retain, Mr. Horton said. A 777 paint job can cost $100,000 to $200,000, depending on the number of colors involved, and a smaller Airbus A320 can cost $50,000 or more. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323968304578247681812331570.html I think that for co-marketing arrangements the partner contributes to the cost, and/or pays a fee for a fixed period which allows the carrier to cover the costs?

lomatopo Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Most on the interwebs say these DD aircraft (HS-DBH and HS-DBJ) are indeed painted to represent clownfish, and yes we all know what "Nok" means. HS-DBJ, aka Nok Raroeng, is referred to as Nok Nemo. Perhaps reinforcing this perception, HS-DBH is named "Nok Cartoon"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
