LATAM's Latest B789 Dreamliner

[Grahame Hutchison]

When CC-BGK was in Sydney a week ago, I noticed some colour on the underbelly just behind the nose wheel doors. Today's service was operated by
LAN's latest B789 Dreamliner CC-BGL (only two weeks old and it's first visit to Sydney), so I took the opportunity to shoot from underneath the departure
flight path. The colours turned out to be the LATAM Logo, very simple and not as impressive as the Emirates and Qatar full name logos. Unfortunately
the weather was not so good, with overcast skies and light rain, however I did manage to get a couple of interesting shots.

The aircraft departed from Runway 34R, and in the first shot through the Runway 16L approach lighting (Image 2), you can see a perfect reflection of
the Runway 16L Piano Keys. In the last three silhouette images, you can see right through the fans blades in Image 7, not seen that before.



As well as the Runway 16L Piano Keys reflection, you can also see a reflection of each wing and engine, along both sides and towards the nose.


Here you can still see the RW 16L Piano Keys right at the back of the fuselage, however you can also see the approach to the piano keys which is more
of a brownish colour than the black of the runway itself.






Love that you can see right through the engine and the fan blades.

Great pics, does the latam come into sydney instead of the LAN flight or do both of the flights come in

All of LATAM's B789 fleet rotate through SYD on one daily service. So today might be the LAN livery, tomorrow might be the LATAM livery.

LATAM now have three B789 Dreamliners in the LATAM livery, two delivered in the new livery (CC-BGK and CC-BGL), and one has been repainted from LAN to LATAM livery (CC-BGA which was their first B789). They will all be repainted in the new livery eventually, but for the moment it is just a matter of scheduling as to which livery turns up.

I have setup an Alert in FlightAware for these three registrations, so I know when they are coming.
