For the curious, you may be wondering why the blue colored livery, well it has been a topic that many have pondered about over the last year.

As I spoke to one of the representatives of Malaysia Airlines, I was told that the new blue livery is to signify the premium class aircraft and will only be used for the Airbus A380 planes.

The rest of the fleet will be using the new design red and blue livery too.
