Default Branding

I think the presentation standards, re livery of a particular aircraft is of a lesser priority than the other pillars that support The Brand. Spotters and airliers.net enthusiasts absorb SO much in terms of the image and professionalism of the business through the images they see online. To the regular and high frequency airline traveler the 10-30 minutes of viewing the exterior of an aircraft before boarding has little effect on the "end to end experience" they receive. Inflight Product, Service, and Recognition have probably a higher impact on the customer. In times like these (economic et al) we have to focus on areas which will be most beneficial to a business don’t you agree?

Eli,

Imagine if the A380 delivery on September 21 featured an aircraft doused in grit and soot and which featured tired and dull looking paint.

Regardless of in-flight service and all the rest presentation to the public also carries weight.

It would be the same as hiring a limousine which turned up dirty with faded paint. Regardless of how nice the champagne was or the leather seats were it was still a dirty limousine.

As the saying goes... "Image is everything".

Well said. Very true. Trust me, people notice these things. A clean image is noticed by the public. But then once inside side they do notice the service as well,it is the whole package, but it starts from the outside. I think i am starting to sound like my girlfriend

Speaking of which, VH-VXD seen here at Gate 1 in Melbourne right now could do with a sponge bath?

How about the Interiors of aircraft?
Besides a quick vacuum every now & then do they do anything else?
