As aircraft liveries go, this one is a cut above the rest. By a whisker.
Air Astana, the flag carrier of the Republic of Kazakhstan, has unveiled a new addition to its fleet – an Embraer 190-E2 with a snow leopard's snout painted on its fuselage nose.
The incredible paint job was presented to the media by Air Astana President and CEO Peter Foster at Astana International Airport today.

It's not the first E190-E2 to be given an eye-catching makeover, though. Embraer recently took an E190-E2 with a shark painted on its nose on a world tour.
There's a model with a tiger paint job, too.
The Air Astana snow leopard aircraft is the first of five ordered, with the remaining four scheduled for delivery in 2019.
The snow leopard livery is intended to draw global attention to the threat of extinction faced by this large wild cat, which is a native to the mountain ranges of southern Kazakhstan.
'All of us at Air Astana are pleased to receive our first E190-E2, and we look forward to a smooth entry into service and a simple transition for our pilots. We know Embraer's E-Jets well, and have high expectations for their new generation aircraft in terms of economics, environmental impact, and levels of comfort and convenience for our customers,' said Mr Foster.
Air Astana will operate the Embraer 190-E2 on domestic services across Kazakhstan, as well as to destinations in Russia, Central Asia, the Caucasus and China. The inaugural E2 commercial service from Astana to Almaty is scheduled for December 19, 2018.
Embraer claims that the new 190-E2 burns 17 per cent less fuel than its predecessor, the E190.

One of the most significant plus points for E190-E2 passengers is that the cabin configuration is always 2-2, meaning the dreaded middle seat is never on the cards
The E190-E2 (flight deck pictured) has been in commercial operation with Norway's Widerøe since April of this year

This, it says, makes it the most efficient single-aisle aircraft on the market.

The E190-E2 has been in commercial operation with Norway's Widerøe since April of this year.
Three jets have already accumulated close to 2,000 flight hours achieving schedule reliability of more than 99 per cent, Embraer said recently.

Embraer forecasts 2,820 commercial aircraft up to 150 seats to be delivered over the next 20 years to European and CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States – former USSR republics) operators.
The aircraft's main rival is Airbus's A220.
This model is flown by Swiss, AirBaltic, Korean Air and, from 2019, Delta.
The Brazilian company was founded in 1969 and says that it transports about 145 million passengers a year.
It is the world's third-largest aircraft manufacturer with around $6billion (£4.7million) in sales.
It offers a range of civil and military aircraft as well as business jets.
Embraer has also given one of its E190-E2 jets an amazing tiger livery

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
