This is the FlyByWire version of this livery. This livery is also available for the default A320 here.
Today we feature the A320neo of the fictional Manta Air Lines in the revised 1985 livery. Featuring G-SIMZ, the 3rd A320neo to enter service with the airline. It is nicknamed the “Warm Welcome” aircraft to represent the friendly service that is offered with Manta Air Lines.
Airline/Livery History:
Manta Air Lines started in 1952 with a sleek, bare metal livery design with the first A320neo. In the mid-80s, Manta looked to expand their fleet by adding some additional aircraft. G-SIMZ was delivered in October of 1985 featuring a new livery. This livery removed the bare metal look for a white fuselage but kept the engines with the metal look. The tail was changed to look closer to what the current 2021 tail looks like and this livery features the cyan colour more so than it's predecessor. The European Union flag is also represented on this aircraft as the United Kingdom joined the EU in the mid 70s.
