The story behind the livery
Cruzeiro do Sul, commonly known as Cruzeiro, was one of Brazil's oldest and most storied airlines, founded in 1927 as Syndicato Condor. By 1973, the airline was operating Boeing 727-100s on an extensive domestic network connecting Brazil's vast cities and regions — from the Amazon basin to the southern states. Flying during Brazil's economic boom years, Cruzeiro was a symbol of the country's modernization and ambition. The airline was eventually absorbed into Varig in 1993, but its distinctive liveries from the jet age remain a fascinating piece of South American aviation history that is rarely reproduced in decal form.
This decal set faithfully reproduces the complete 1973 Cruzeiro livery: fuselage titles, airline markings, registration numbers, and full window lines — all researched from historical photographic references.
