South Africans have truly showcased their creativity! LIFT recently asked the public to design a special birthday livery for its aircraft, and the response was overwhelming. With nearly 3,000 submissions, the airline has now narrowed it down to the Top 5 designs that will compete to be the next iconic LIFT birthday tail.
The competition isn’t over yet — now it’s up to South Africa to decide which design will take to the skies. Every vote counts, and to make it even more exciting, one lucky voter will win a R5,000 LIFT Wallet. This is a unique opportunity for South Africans to actively participate in shaping the airline’s look and celebrate its milestone in a creative way.
LIFT operates a fleet of Airbus A320 aircraft on domestic routes across South Africa, connecting passengers to key cities nationwide. The airline’s birthday tail competition highlights not only its commitment to engaging with the public but also its focus on creativity, community, and celebrating South African talent.
The finalists’ designs reflect a mix of bold colours, imaginative concepts, and a true South African spirit, each ready to make a statement in the skies. Whether you’re a frequent flyer or just love seeing aircraft with unique liveries, this is your chance to be part of LIFT’s birthday celebration.
Don’t miss your chance to vote and see your favourite design take to the skies. The winning livery will be revealed soon, turning a piece of South African creativity into a flying celebration of LIFT’s milestone.
