Spot The Papaya: Etihad’s McLaren F1-Liveried Boeing 787 Hits The Skies

Etihad Airways has unveiled a new livery for one of its Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner aircraft, featuring a bold orange and black scheme inspired by the McLaren Racing Formula One Team. The design is described as distinctive, with the majority of the aircraft painted in a papaya-like hue.

The livery draw is the result of a collaboration between Etihad and McLaren, which had been teased earlier in the year. The partnership ties the Abu Dhabi-based carrier to the Formula One team in a visible branding effort.

Madrid is identified as the jet’s first destination, marking the initial route for the aircraft under the new livery. The information specifies Madrid as the starting service but does not mention additional routes or schedules.

No further details are provided about the aircraft’s interior, technical specifications beyond its Boeing 787-10 designation, or any schedule changes beyond Madrid as the first destination.
