Patola sari motif on Air India Express’s new B737 aircraft

Mumbai: These photographs of Air India Express’s brand new B737 MAX VT-BXD aircraft are viral for its trail that has a depiction inspired by Gujarat’s Patola sari motif. The photographs were taken at Jaipur airport by an aviation enthusiast who tweeted them. However on proper viewing, it appears that the Patola motif has been depicted in grey color, while actually it’s quite colorful and never in grey.

Huge shoutout for Harsh ( @avgeekwithlens ) for being possibly the first one to have spotted @AirIndiaX (AIX) 's 2nd #B737Max VT-BXD in the new livery. Every AIX aircraft will feature unique tail art. The tail on this one pays tribute to the Gujarati Patola saree.#AvGeek pic.twitter.com/qbQK50rsDM
