SINGAPORE – The blue mask is a common sight these days, but on Thursday morning (August 27) it was spotted on a Cargolux Airlines Boeing 747-8 at Changi Airport.
Flight CLX 7952 landed in Singapore “masked”, four months after mask-faysal tests were mandatory for those here on April 14 to combat the spread of Covid-19.
The special livery covers the nose of the plane with straps that highlight a message appropriate for the current times: “Not without my mask.”
It is the first time a “masked” plane has landed in Changi, said Changi Airport Group.
The Luxembourg-based cargo airline settled on a new paint job after a scheduled maintenance check in Taipei.
He made a stopover in Singapore at 4:20 am on August 27 before heading to Luxembourg via Baku, Azerbaijan.
Luxembourg Prime Minister Xavier Bettel and Deputy Prime Minister François Bausch were on the scene to greet the plane and its crew when it landed at Luxembourg airport on the afternoon of August 27 local time.
In a statement, Cargolux said the aircraft’s livery is intended to show that the airline “embraces the Luxembourg government’s campaign to promote the use of face masks in today’s environment.”
The plane returned to Singapore on August 28 at approximately 9 p.m.
