Hong Kong Airlines × Ocean Park Panda Friends livery A320-200

Web TeamBy 3 Mins Read
The fuselage design of the Panda Friends livery features Ocean Park’s IP characters, An An, Ke Ke, Ying Ying and Le Le, alongside the Hong Kong-born giant panda twins — elder sister Jia Jia and younger brother De De. In the artwork, the six pandas set off from Ocean Park with their passports and cameras in hand, taking on the role of tourism ambassadors as they journey around the world with the passengers on board. The first flight was from Hong Kong to Chengdu — the hometown of the giant panda
