JetBlue has unveiled a new livery for its Airbus A220 aircraft, nicknaming it ‘Hops,’ featuring a unique violet accent color on the winglets and other parts of the fuselage. Hopping on an A220 According to a JetBlue spokesperson, the Airbus A220-300 , which will be registered as N3241J, will feature the airline’s newest livery, called ‘Hops.’ The representative said the aircraft, nicknamed ‘Taming Of The Blue,’ will begin flying commercially at the end of November.
One of the unique features of JetBlue’s A220-300 livery is violet accents on the winglets and the aft fuselage of the narrowbody jet, with the new livery putting a fresh spin on a JetBlue classic. “This pattern is multidimensional, playful, and full of motion—evoking the path of our planes hopping from one BlueCity to another. This is the first aircraft to feature our violet accent color.
” For JetBlue, the A220-300 will become one of the most important aircraft in its fleet. While the airline has deferred 44 A321neo aircraft that were scheduled for delivery between 2025 and 2029 to 2030 and beyond as part of its JetForward plan , it has kept its original A220-300 delivery schedule. As a result, during the latter half of 2024, as well as the next four years, JetBlue was scheduled to take delivery of 64 A220-300 aircraft, with another four coming thereafter.
At least three airlines in the US have deferred Airbus A320neo and A321neo family aircraft. First flights Airbus last delivered an A220-300.
