JetBlue has introduced a new livery for its Airbus A220 aircraft, named 'Hops.' This design features a violet accent color on the winglets and other parts of the fuselage. The Airbus A220-300, registered as N3241J, will showcase this latest livery and is set to begin commercial flights by the end of November.
The aircraft is nicknamed ‘Taming Of The Blue,’ and its design is described as "multidimensional, playful, and full of motion—evoking the path of our planes hopping from one BlueCity to another," according to a JetBlue spokesperson. It marks the first time JetBlue has used a violet accent color in its liveries.
The A220-300 model is becoming increasingly important for JetBlue's fleet. While the airline has deferred 44 A321neo aircraft deliveries scheduled between 2025 and 2029 to 2030 and beyond under its JetForward plan, it maintains its original delivery schedule for the A220-300. Consequently, JetBlue expects to receive 64 A220-300 aircraft during the latter half of 2024 and over the next four years, with an additional four following thereafter.
