."Mythical Bird’s Wing"

 

 

The symbol of Angel Air conveys Thai identity and is in accordance with the name "Angel Air", the new national airline. The symbol is the wing of "Kinnari", a Thai female mythical creature, half-bird, half-human angel. It is a well-rounded, Thai design, wing shape with main colours of blue and green. The wing consists of 8 colour bands and each part of the design has a meaning as explained by the artist.

The well-rounded shape


represents prosperity and beauty.

 

The navy blue band with tapering end


was inspired by the shape of the leaf of the Bhoti tree, a symbol of Buddhism and represents a protection against evil as well as a code of practice for the airline to 
follow Buddhist morality of righteousness.

 

The convergence point of the 8 colour bands


forms the head of a swan, a gold swan.

 

The 8 bands within the wing


represent, from a Chinese point of view, the 8 directions, Taoist belief of powerful force and the abundance of nature. Additionally, during the Ching Dynasty, whenever Emperor Chernlong went to war he would arrange his army into 8 regiments, 8 divisions, 8 companies and flying 8 flags. This helped to boost the moral of the soldiers and to insure a victory. From a Thai point of view, the 8 bands represent the "8 Paths" of Buddhist principles as follows:

1. Good opinion
2. Good thought
3. Good speech
4. Good occupation
5. Good living
6. Perseverance
7. Good conscience and
8. Good intention

" Kinnari wing "


The symbol of Angel Air is therefore the integration of Thai Buddhist principles, Chinese Taoist philosophy and Thai art. In summary it means the graceful emergence of an enterprise with a promising future of prosperity.
