New Brand Identity Updates

1. Repainting of aircraft:
By Christmas, a third of 4Y's fleet will have the new livery. This includes eight aircraft, seven Airbus A320s, and one Airbus A330.

2. Crew uniform accessories:
On December 1, the crew received new uniform accessories, marking another major step in the brand rollout schedule.

3. Onboard branding:
Over 60 items on board, including menus, wine and water glasses, headrest covers, pillows, and blankets, have been exchanged with new branding.

4. Advertising campaign:
From December to January, 4Y is running its second major advertising campaign, which includes poster and online advertising, as well as radio adverts. This campaign will cover the Rhine-Main region and the Munich area, expanding the airline's reach and aiming for greater awareness in Munich.

Discover Airlines aims to have 17 aircraft flying with the new livery by mid-2024, which includes new additions to the fleet. The airline plans to grow to a total of 28 aircraft by the beginning of 2025.

Despite potential challenges such as painting slot availability and supply chain issues, 4Y is on schedule with the rollout and prioritizes a smooth transition for its guests.
