United unveils Stars and Stripes livery on Boeing 787-10 and 737-800

United Airlines has unveiled a Stars and Stripes special livery for a Boeing 787-10 and a Boeing 737-800 to mark the 250th anniversary of the United States.

The aircraft were painted in Amarillo, Texas, and will enter service this summer with 50 stars, red-and-white striping, and commemorative plaques honoring active and former U.S. service members employed by the carrier. United is using the design as a brand marker for America250 while also tying the campaign to its military pilot pipeline and broader patriotic positioning.

The move puts two U.S.-built jets into a high-visibility livery programme that should carry well across domestic and transatlantic networks.
