B-18203 B747-409 China Airlines 2013-15

This livery was commissionned by the airline in cooperation with the Ministry of Culture and the aircraft displays drawings by Taiwanese illustrator and picture book writer Jimmy Liao. Markings were different on both sides and showed children hugging endangered animals and the earth: on the port side were displayed a Taiwan white dolphin, a rhinoceros and a polar bear while the starboard side showed a penguin, an owl and a green turtle from Penghu (Pescadores) Islands. This livery was a testimony of the airline’s and the island’s awareness of climate change issues.
