Qantas has unveiled the look of its new Airbus A220.
The first of 29 new aircraft will arrive in Australia next year.
The planes are showcasing the artwork of senior Indigenous artist Maringka Baker.
One hundred painters brought the design to life which features 20,000 dots.
The A220s will replace the Boeing 717s used on QantasLink domestic and international short-haul routes.

pretty sure the 100 'artists' were a bunch of kids from the local pre-school center on excursion to do some finger painting.
Don't like the green, should of made it orange.
Taxpayer funded, probably over budget by $2 billion
Pfft an AI could have done that.
Do indigenous people also own the skies and air rights?
The pandering to this bunch of “hand out” “gimme gimme” absolute no hopers is ridiculous 😂
All they do is cry, abuse me just for being born white, play the victim and con for more freebies.
Im sick to death of them.
0:19 I counted 19,998 but who's counting.
This is why I drive and work hard for leave so I don’t fund this crap. 😂
With royalties paid to Geoffrey Bardon?
We voted no. So more on..
For Aboriginal and Torres Straight people only, …right!
What is it with this stuff? I just don't get it. My four year old does better art than this.
The irony is that it represents people who didn’t invent the wheel.
More childish indigenous art and indignant suck hole-ing.
Exactly, this art is prosaic & dull.
Sorry….looks like it's covered in green slime. Apparently, this is the consulation prize for the Voice
No wonder qantas is way more expensive than the quality airlines
I'm so sick of this push about Aborigines, enough is enough,
Should be used as Camo for the new F-35s 😅😅😅
That ancient Aboriginal artwork dates way back to the 1970s
😂😂😂😂
What a scam
QANTAS virtual signalling again!
After the tirade of hate seen, you all realise it is a Qantas Link aircraft that will likely be seen in regional areas for many years.Suffer slowly rednecks.
It's on boycott permanently so I'm not affected with their embarrassing mess
This news guy always looks and sounds bored, the plane looks like it has covid.
Great, indigenous can see the dots from 20K ft.
Gorgeous
QANTAS is a woke joke.
It still cant join the dots.
They keep virtue signalling, & jamming this rubbish down our throats. I voted NO to this sympathising leftist woke garbage. So was it the abbos that made Qantas rich? Where's the Aussie Flag🇦🇺? And how much did it cost the tax payer's? How many zombies does it take to paint dots? Apparently 100 of them. FFS!
Didn’t we say NO!
God damned, that is ugly!!! As already said, Aboriginal dot paintings are a white man invention. How awkward for a woke-as-heck company like Qantas! How embarrassing!
That's awesome but the way Qantas has treated workers give us competitors so I can never fly on Qantas again.
I don't get the hate… it's classic 'what-about-me-ism'. Giving recognition to one culture doesn't take anything away from another. Regardless of whether a white guy invented the paintings in the 1970's, or whether they were around for thousands of years… As it stands today, they represent the indigenous people of this land, and they're entitled to be proud of it. We call things like sausage sandwiches and fish and chips "Australian"… But the "sausage sandwich" was originally a german dish for hundreds of years. We adopted it in the 1990's and now claim it's ours… and fish and chips originated in England in the 1800's…. Let them have this. It's not a big deal. We can coincide and live together without all the hate.
30 likes and 188 comments is crazy 😂
Hope they never lose a plane in the jungle…
