June 18, 201213 yr Why do Emirates and Qatar have their respective airline names painted in huge lettering on the bellies of their aircraft? Is it purely for branding/ advertising or is there something more to it? Mitch Brown Private Pilot | Aerospace Engineering Major
June 18, 201213 yr I'm pretty sure it's purely advertising. Thanks!Nick CrateChief Executive OfficerFedEx Virtual Air Cargo
June 18, 201213 yr I think it's advertising as well. They're taking advantage of the angle their target market may be seeing from the ground, their belly.

June 18, 201213 yr It's funny how those are the only 2 airlines that have this. Not True. I know of at least 2 more. Both here in Australia. Jetstar Airways, the low cost spin off of Qantas has belly logos, And V Australia, before its re-branding as Virgin Australia had the V logo on the belly. I'm sure there are other examples of belly logos around the world.

June 18, 201213 yr It's funny how those are the only 2 airlines that have this. Virgin Atlantic are now also starting to put their logo on the belly of their aircraft with their new livery. :) Calum Martin
June 18, 201213 yr Air Berlin also does this for quite a time now... Greetings from the 737 flightdeck!
June 18, 201213 yr Turkish Airlines does it too. Here is a pic I took of one of their A330s flying over my house. http://my.pinkfroot.com/photo/turkish-tc-jnr-a330-300 Marty Becker PPL - Instrument Rating

June 19, 201213 yr Commercial Member Anyone ever seen the belly of an aircraft that doesn't get washed all the time? They're not the cleanest, so risking people seeing a dirty logo because you couldn't fit the plane in for a wash is probably one of the reasons it isn't done more often. Kyle Rodgers
