Aerom\u00e9xico&#8217;s Quetzalcoatl plane left the Boeing Aircraft Paint Hangar after a nine-day process\u2014six days longer than expected\u2014as the engineers found that they needed extra time to add all of the original hues and colours featured in the winning design.<\/p>\n<p>In <span class=\"xn-chron\">November 2014<\/span>, Aerom\u00e9xico announced the &#8220;Design is in the Air&#8221; contest via social media and at several universities, inviting participants to submit a creative image to be painted on an aircraft&#8217;s fuselage. More than 1,000 participants presented their designs during the four-week contest period, 400 of which were chosen for meeting the requirements established in the rules. The winning design was created by graphic designer Jos\u00e9 <span class=\"xn-person\">Manuel Escudero<\/span> of the Mexican state of <span class=\"xn-location\">Veracruz<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Aerom\u00e9xico CEO Andr\u00e9s Conesa said &#8220;At Aerom\u00e9xico, we are very excited about the buzz the Quetzalcoatl design has generated. As <span class=\"xn-location\">Mexico&#8217;s<\/span> flagship carrier, this aircraft will become an icon of our fleet and a reflection of what <span class=\"xn-location\">Mexico<\/span> is today, with culture and tradition represented in what we consider to be one of the most sophisticated creations of modern aviation engineering.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Conesa added, &#8220;We hope this plane will make our country proud. Quetzalcoatl will fly between major airports in <span class=\"xn-location\">Europe<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-location\">Asia<\/span> visited by millions of travellers each year.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Aerom\u00e9xico is the second carrier in <span class=\"xn-location\">Latin America<\/span> to operate the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner and plans to continue investing until its fleet has ten 787-9 aircraft, with the purpose of providing a better flight experience to customers. If an airline places an order for a 787 today, it could take between 10 to 15 years for it to be delivered. With a fuselage measuring 20 feet wider than the 787-8, the 787-9 will have the capacity for 48 additional passengers on longer routes (up to 300 more nautical miles) with 20% greater fuel efficiency, and up to 20% fewer emissions than the aircraft this model is replacing.<\/p>\n<p>The airline has said that it will wait until the plane lands in <span class=\"xn-location\">Mexico<\/span> to unveil the interior of this new aircraft that will change its customers&#8217; travel experience. <\/p>\n<p><b>About Grupo Aerom\u00e9xico <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Grupo Aerom\u00e9xico, S.A.B. de C.V. is a holding company whose subsidiaries provide commercial aviation services and promote passenger loyalty programs in <span class=\"xn-location\">Mexico<\/span>.
