Maringka Baker - Balarinji
VH-X4A
QantasLink (opb National Jet Sys.)  [+]
2023-

The sixth aborigene livery for Qantas is also the result of partnership with Balarinji Design Studios; the brand new aircraft was delivered to National Jet Systems to be operated for QantasLink on December 16, 2023. The design is based on a 2018 200 x 243.5 cm artwork by renowned artist Maringka Baker from the Pitjantjatjara tribe established in the Central Australian desert (the author lives in the remote community of Kanpi in far north west South Australia).

The green design tells the Dreaming story of two sisters who traverse remote Australia together, covering vast distances to find their way home.

The artwork name - Minyma Kutjara Tjukurpa – means The Two Sisters Creation Story. The livery is an intricate work made from over 20,000 dots and showing the artist's deep spiritual connection to her Country.

It seems like this albino livery appeared at ITA as the airline did not had enough time to paint the new additions to the fleet in the full blue scheme in time for their entry into service.

Fête des Vignerons 2019 

by Fichtre
HB-JCA
2019

In 2018 Swiss artist Mathias Forbach (known as Fichtre) was again commissioned by the airline to design a new livery for JCA. This time the scheme anticipates the 2019 Fête des Vignerons, a traditional festival which takes place in Vevey on the shores of Lake Geneva since 1797. It is organised a maximum of five times each century, the last edition having been the 1999 one. The Fête des Vignerons pays tribute to the centuries-old winegrowing tradition of an entire Swiss region through a spectacular event and the coronation of the vineyard hands. The artist (who is from Vevey) mixed the iconic smileys he is known for with renderings of the lake, and among others music notes, cotillions and starlings. The latter are a sympbol of the Fête when swarms gather above the vines in autumn. Both sides are different. The scheme is expected to remain on the aircraft until November 2019.
