Have you ever considered the impact of colours in your industry?

Although there is a huge variety between the colours and designs for different airline brands; have you ever noticed how many commercial aircraft interiors have a common factor…. The colour blue!

There have been hundreds of studies into the psychological impact of colours on human emotions and first impressions and airlines are one of many industries to implement these studies into their designs.

Studies also show the colour blue evokes feelings of calm and relaxation so although not in keeping with the colour of their brand many airlines incorporate varying shades of blue into their final interior designs alongside their brand colour to instil these feelings into their passengers.

Aerofloor offers genuine sheepskin that have been ironed/electrified to remove the natural curl of the skin in a variety of colours that will complement any décor.

Approved for aviation use, these skins compliment the majority of cockpit interiors. These superior quality sheepskins help to provide both luxury and comfort to the pilot (and co-pilot) by helping to regulate their body temperature which is particularly useful for any long-haul flight.

However, it would take another 25 years before the first female co-pilot of a commercial aircraft was able to break into this male dominated industry. Emily Howell Warner then had to persevere for another 42 years before finally becoming the first female captain of a commercial aircraft in 1976.
