AirAsia presents Williams aircraft

Airline AirAsia today revealed the world's first commercial A320 aircraft with a Formula One team livery. The aircraft, whose livery is an exact look-alike of the Williams racing car, was held to coincide with the Malaysian Grand Prix which starts on 21 March 2008 and to mark AirAsia's extended three year partnership with the AT&T Williams Formula One team.

AirAsia's AT&T Williams aircraft is a fitting tribute to Williams' traditional racing colours of blue and white, whilst the 'nose' of the aircraft is designed to look like Nico Rosberg's racing helmet. The aircraft AFW30 was named 'Sir Frank Williams' in tribute to Sir Frank Williams, Team Principal of AT&T Williams.

Nico Rosberg said during the presentation of AirAsia's new aircraft design: "It has been incredible to see the AT&T Williams livery on AirAsia's plane. I'm delighted that the design of my helmet, which I have been racing with all my life, has been used to create a lasting tribute to the team's partnership with Air Asia."
