Hi Fly Logo PNG
Hi Fly’s logo evokes the salty ocean air you feel when stepping off an airplane in Portugal, where the company was born. Once you see it, you will feel that you are in for a unique journey through the sky, perhaps even to places you have only seen in pictures. The company’s mission is to take you from point A to point B and turn the journey into a story you’ll tell your friends. It’s a young company, but it’s like the new kid in school who’s already fit in and is making things interesting.
Since its founding in October 2005, Hi Fly has captivated passengers with its unusual travel experiences and quickly gained recognition. In April 2006, the Portuguese Civil Aviation Authority granted Hi Fly an Operator’s Certificate, signifying the successful completion of the initial certification process.
In 2008 and 2009, Hi Fly made the fateful decision to purchase new aircraft directly from Airbus. This strategic move allowed Hi Fly to expand its fleet and elevate its service.
The recent acquisition of an A330-200 and two A340-500 aircraft from Airbus marked a major milestone in Hi Fly’s development.
Hi Fly’s partnership with Nigeria’s leading airline, Arik Air, has enabled it to launch flights on the Lagos-New York (John F. Kennedy) route. “Hi Fly has allocated one of its A340-500 aircraft, emblazoned with the iconic Arik Air logo, to serve this route for five years.
In 2015, Hi Fly took the bold step of reclaiming the aircraft previously operated in conjunction with Arik Air. This strategic decision opened new doors for Hi Fly, allowing the company to continue pursuing excellence and innovation.
From its humble beginnings as a charter airline to its current position as a respected player in the aviation industry, Hi Fly has consistently delivered extraordinary travel experiences for passengers worldwide.
Meaning and History
What is Hi Fly?
Hi Fly, a Portuguese charter airline headquartered in Lisbon, began operations in October 2005. After incorporation, the company quickly completed certification and received its Operator’s Certificate in April 2006. In 2008 and 2009, the airline received new Airbus aircraft, including an A330-200 and two A340-500s, as part of its fleet expansion. The fleet additions confirm the company’s commitment to providing charter services at the highest level.
2005 – today
The creators of the Hi Fly logo sought to convey lightness and airiness, so they used a cornerless “bubble” font. The inscription is blue, associated with the sky, so the glyphs resemble small clouds. The airline’s name is written as one word, with a lowercase “f” and only the capital “H.” To make the two words stand out, the designers colored the first word a darker shade and the second a lighter one.
The rounded font and sky-blue color are meant to evoke a sense of freedom and lightness, which is often necessary when traveling by air. The contrast between the hues of “Hi” and “Fly” adds visual interest and improves readability without adding spaces or punctuation, keeping the logo’s minimalist approach.
