FAREEDA UNVEILS SPECIAL LIVERY ON FIREFLY’S ATR 72-600

Firefly Airlines and FAREEDA, Malaysia’s number 1 exclusive scarves brand, today unveiled a new generation of ATR 72-600 aircraft adorned in the striking colours of FAREEDA. The livery features a purple and blue colour background with FAREEDA’s models adorned in their signature designs.

Speaking at the unveiling ceremony, Mr. Ignatius Ong, Chief Executive Officer of Firefly expressed his pleasure at being the airline to bear the FAREEDA livery.

“This aircraft livery project was materialized to essentially showcase to the mass public our initiative to partner with home-grown Malaysian companies in a more effective and innovative approach. Firefly being a 100% Malaysian company supports wholeheartedly other relevant locally bred corporations to meet their commercial and operational goals. FAREEDA and Firefly are dynamic and innovative Malaysian companies and this new livery will really make us stand out from the crowd, both in the sky and on the ground at airports all over South East Asia.”

“Despite the most challenging economic conditions that we have encountered, this is just one of many design projects that Firefly has invested in. We have been working behind the scenes with FAREEDA’s team to develop this livery and we are looking to add new designs for the upcoming fleet of ATR 72-600 due to come into service this year”.
