For the rebirth of the Coffee Axis

The region of Armenia in the Colombian Coffee-Growers Axis was hit by an earthquake on January 25, 1999. As the local airline, ACES actively contributed to the relief effort and opened a current account in the Bancafé so the public could make donations. The bank account number was directly displayed on many of the airline's planes, including at least one of 5 727. ATRs also had a smaller version of the decal.

It is unclear to me if these special titles were indeed to celebrate New Year 1999... C-FNVT was in a NWT Air hybrid scheme (with the AC tail) while C-GNWN had a basic white livery.

The name of the airline came from the group of former Eastern & Pan Am employees that founded it; they called themselves Kiwis because they were no longer flying, just as Kiwi birds can't fly. This squiggle scheme was created by KIWI Captain Bill Halsey and was a tribute to the airline's employee-owners.
