D-ABUZ B767-330ER Condor  [+] 2012-15

This special livery was unveiled to highlight the positive effect of the Frankfurt airport on the region, while the extension of the airport was being criticized by part of the neighboring population. Condor was founded in Frankfurt and is still based there to date; photos of the biggest fans of the airport could be seen on this 767 (different pictures on both sides).

1Malaysia is an on-going programme designed by Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak on 16 September 2010, calling for the cabinet, government agencies, and civil servants to more strongly emphasise ethnic harmony, national unity, and efficient governance (Wikipedia). This new flag livery was unveiled in the presence of The Prime Minister of Malaysia, 10 years after the initial flag livery that was applied to AirAsia 737 9M-AAI. The different faces of multi-ethnic Malaysia could be seen aft of the wing.

JA05RK B737-8Q3 JTA  [+] 2017-
JA8939 B737-4Q3 JTA  [+] 2012-18

Celebrating the 45th anniversary of the airline and the 10th anniversary of Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium by presenting this Whale Shark. The initial idea came to a JTA cabin crew member visiting the Aquarium, and the design is modeled after resident whale shark "Jinta". The design was so successful among customers that a derived Sakura Jinbei Jet design was unveiled in 2014 (see separately); a 737-800 was delivered in the original scheme to replace the -400 as the type was being withdrawn from the fleet.
