The folllowing pictures taken at Rome Fiumicino airport show the Alitalia B767-300 “EI-DBP” wearing the new SkyTeam colour scheme. The livery, is inspired to the alliance logo and it is made by a silver fuselage with a dark blue tail with the SkyTeam logo in white. Between the wing and the tail there’s large dark blue “lace” slighlty angled (goes from top to bottom).
