"Boeing" type stickers on aircraft
 

I have always wondered about the 'aircraft type' stickers seen for many decades on Boeing aircraft. These typically say things like "Boeing 737-800" and are usually located on both sides of the aft fuselage. I used to always think that Boeing provided these stickers free of charge when a new aircraft was delivered. However it is obvious one that when aircraft are repainted the stickers go back on (often in a new colour).

So does Boeing provide a continuing offer of stickers through-out the lifespan of an airframe or do he airlines themselves believe in either a marketing or a ramp operations / safety benefit and pay for these decals???

They are not stickers. They are painted on!

Thanks Fred. I was speaking kinda metaphorically. My question is more around are these a requirement or somehow 'sponsored' by Boeing or is this done almost universally by mainstream airlines for the airlines own interests?

The same can be said about Airbus, Tiger don't display the Airbus A320 on their aircraft while most others do.

Who remembers the 'Boeing' tag on Dash-8s back in the nineties? ;)

Sure do - those Dash8-100 Boeings were so much better than the Jetstreams!!!

Some of the parts inside the dash's have Boeing on them.

....so when an airline resprays an aircraft or changes livery etc they happily pay to have these added without any sponsorship from Boeing or Airbus?
