Germany painting airlines to look like beach towels

In summary, a German airline, Condor, has unveiled planes painted to look like beach towels as part of their evolution into a unique vacation airline. This design may have been inspired by the idea of reserving sun loungers at resorts. The majority of the airline's shares are owned by a British investor company. Some people find the design humorous, while others do not like it.

A German sense of humour, that suggests you must book early to get a seat, to a place where you must be early, to place your beach towel near the pool.

Nok Air is creative.

The majority of the shares (51%) are held by a British investor company (Attestor). Just saying.

I do not like stripes on a plane.
I do not like them on a train.
I do not like them on a towel.
I do not like them on an owl.
