To commemorate 20 years of Ayrton Senna\u2019s legacy, Azul Brazilian Airlines is paying tribute to one of the greatest idols of all time. This week, at Salgado Filho Airport, in Porto Alegre, an Embraer 195 aircraft was named #sennasempre and debuted a special new livery alluding to Senna\u2019s career.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s just one of the results yielded by the partnership between Azul, the Ayrton Senna Institute and TAP M&E Brasil. The plane\u2019s nose was painted like a helmet, in yellow, blue, green and white, the colors made famous by the three-time F-1 world champion.<\/p>\n
The aircraft\u2019s engines, in turn, will display the Ayrton Senna Sempre seal, celebrating the driver\u2019s 20-year legacy. The Embraer 195\u2019s new name (#sennasempre) is being used in every action planned by the Institute in 2014. Also as part of the partnership, Azul has donated one million TudoAzul frequent-flyer points to the Institute, aiming to help the NGO\u2019s work throughout Brazil.<\/p>\n
\u201cAyrton Senna had a lot of passion and he also made sure everything he did was impeccable. Our company really values these qualities and admires the Ayrton Senna Institute\u2019s amazing work. Through this partnership, we want to help the NGO\u2019s educational programs that benefit thousands of children and teenagers in Brazil\u201d, says Gianfranco Beting, Azul\u2019s Communication, Brand and Culture director.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the year we celebrate 20 years of Ayrton Senna\u2019s legacy, the partnership with Azul is really important. The company is not only honoring our three-time champion, but also supporting the Ayrton Senna Institute. Our educational programs are present in more than 1,300 Brazilian cities, and now Azul can take us to those places\u201d, says Marco Crespo, Ayrton Senna Institute\u2019s Business Director.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
