Kulula has received some of its new airlines that it ordered some time back. The first delivery is a 737-800 and in typical Kulula style, they have gone a little ‘out the box’. The new plane has been dubbed the ‘Flying 101′ and it features a very unique paint job. It has been designed to point out various aspects of the airplane so that people can see where certain things are located. For example, there are labels for the Loo (which they call the mile high initiation chamber), the cargo load, the pilot’s seat etc. This is really fun and exciting from Kulula and shows their commitment to be South Africa’s light-hearted airline.

South African low-fare airline kulula.com recently came up with a brand-new, funny livery. One of their Boeing 737-86N (ZS-ZWP / OK-PIK), called “Flying 101″ is entirely covered with details and funny remarks about the plane.
