There was a time when almost every airline named each of its planes like ships are named.
Now, only about 30 airlines around the world do this.
British Airways names its jets with the names of British cities and towns.
KLM does the same plus it adds some world heritage sites and flowers.
Qantas adorns its A380s with the names of famous Australian aviation pioneers.
Virgin uses musical names.
Aer Lingus’ planes are named for Irish saints.
Hawaiian Airlines names its wide-body aircraft for constellations in the sky, as a tribute to ancient Polynesian navigation.
And the name for every JetBlue plane includes the word “blue” in it, which makes for some eye-catching and often hilarious titles.
What’s my suggested naming titles for planes? “On-time,” “Comfortable” and “Clean” are mine. Ok, maybe I’m dreaming.
