HISTORY ASPECTS:
United Airlines’ Boeing 737-800W, registration N76516, carries the distinctive Star Alliance livery, symbolizing its role in one of the world's largest and most influential airline alliances. Delivered to United in 2000, this aircraft was later painted in Star Alliance colors to represent United’s founding membership and active participation in the global partnership. Star Alliance, established in 1997, connects dozens of airlines across continents, allowing seamless travel and loyalty benefits for millions of passengers worldwide.
The 737-800W variant, fitted with blended winglets, brought enhanced fuel efficiency and range compared to earlier models. N76516 was deployed on a wide range of domestic and short-to-medium-haul international routes, linking major United hubs like Chicago O'Hare, Houston, and Newark to cities throughout North America and the Caribbean. It became a regular sight on high-frequency business routes as well as popular leisure destinations, demonstrating the aircraft’s versatility and the importance of alliance branding in United's strategic network.
Wearing the clean and striking Star Alliance livery, N76516 highlighted the cooperation between airlines in providing unified service standards and broader global access. The livery also reminded travelers of the benefits available through the alliance, such as shared lounges, coordinated schedules, and streamlined transfers. As part of a select group of United aircraft dedicated to Star Alliance branding, N76516 stood out among the fleet while maintaining a busy and essential role in the carrier’s daily operations.
This 1:200 scale model Reg# N76516 with landing gear in its flaps down configuration authentically reproduces the sleek alliance livery and aircraft details, making it a standout addition for aviation collectors, United Airlines enthusiasts, or anyone celebrating the spirit of global travel.
