Qantas officially unveils its newest Airbus A321XLR, VH-OGG “Coral Sea” — featuring one of the most stunning special liveries the airline has introduced in recent years.
Inspired by Australia’s iconic Great Barrier Reef, the aircraft showcases vibrant coral artwork, sea turtles, and ocean life wrapped across the fuselage in a bold and modern design. The special livery celebrates Qantas’ long partnership with the Great Barrier Reef Foundation and highlights Australia’s natural beauty to the world.
Compared to previous Qantas special liveries like “Great Ocean Road”, “Outback Way”, or even some of the cleaner minimalist designs seen in recent years, “Coral Sea” feels far more alive, colorful, and globally eye-catching. Many aviation enthusiasts are already calling it one of the best modern Qantas liveries ever created — bringing back the emotional impact once seen with legendary liveries like Wunala Dreaming and Nalanji Dreaming.
But what do you think?
Is the new “Coral Sea” livery better than previous Qantas designs?
