Yananyi Dreaming

#3

VH-VXB
2001-14

In 2001 Qantas and Balarinji Studios developped a brand new third aboriginal paint scheme using motifs painted by Central Australian artist Rene Kulitja. She is a Pitjitjantjarra woman from Mutitjulu, near Uluru (Ayers Rock) in Central Australia. Through song, dance and art, Central Australia Aborigenes tell their Tjukurrpa - Anangu Dreaming stories of land and journeys.

The famous Uluru landmark is visible on the fuselage while vibrant colours mirror the deep red tones of the earth in the region. "Yananyi" means going or travelling. Qantas reports that, in Yananyi Dreaming, radiating pathways lead to the symbol of Uluru, depicted both as a physical form surrounded by kurkara (desert oak trees) and as an abstract representation of concentric circles. Blue hills (tali) rise from the desert landscape and Mala (rufous hare-wallaby) tracks are imprinted on the sand. Lungkata (the blue tongue lizard) basks in the hot sun in this fragile and ancient place. Yananyi Dreaming is a strong Uluru story, of particular significance for Anangu people.

Travel to Okinawa was severely affected by the consequences of the 9/11 events. In an attempt to curb the phenomenon, JTA started a marketing campaign with the help of local organisations. JA8597 carried large titles while 12 other 734 (~ the whole fleet) of the airline had smaller decals added. Starting April 2002 decals were replaced by the ones of the Re-Okinawa campaign.

Impressions of Yunnan   云南印象

B-3071
2001-13

China Yunnan's 6 CRJs were known as the "Little Peacock" (小孔雀) CRJs, with a small peacock mascot visible just under the cockpit windows. All 6 were delivered in unique liveries featuring Yunnan flowers, plants and landscapes. The special scheme was kept while the aircraft gained the MU livery after China Yunnan was integrated into China Eastern.

This first scheme was possibly linked to the scenic spot near Dali called "Butterfly Spring" where thousands of butterflies gather. The location is of particular significance to the Bai people, an ethnic group living in the region.

Everyone's Dream - Soar through the sky   みんなの夢 大空にはばたけ
JA8472
JAS
2001-03

This special scheme was unveiled on October 8, 2001 to celebrate the 30 years of service of the airline, as well as the 30th anniversary of the normalization of relations between Japan and China. The company was originally formed as Toa Domestic Airlines (TDA) in a merger between Toa Airways and Japan Domestic Airlines in 1971. It had adopted the JAS name in 1988. A bird painting competition for children was held in both Japan and China on the occasion. The earth logo on the tail and the first bird featured aft of the L1 door were designed by cartoonist Leiji Matsumoto, who was part of the jury of the contest.

The rest of the fuselage was used as a canvas for different bird drawings, with the winning entries from Chinese students featured on the port side and drawings of Japanese children on the starboard side. Remains of the livery stayed long after the aircraft had been sold to Fly Air of Turkey as TC-FLE.
