Humor in Serious Business.

Like any other business, commercial aviation must deal with profit and loss, tight margins, and competition, among other challenges. Apart from that, this business needs to invest in safety, training, and security to prevent high costs as a result of accidents, which, unfortunately, sometimes end up in the loss of (many) lives.

It is refreshing to see that some airline companies find financial resources to utilize creative people, setting them apart from others.

One of these companies is Kulula Airlines, based at Bonaero Park, South Africa. This company had a distinctive approach to the paint schemes on its aircraft.  Where other airliners choose to use distinctive patterns and color schemes to convey a prestigious appearance, Kulula took a humorous approach.

Humor in liveries? Yes, it is possible. Take a look at these pictures. I like it!
