Historical Background

The Qantas Flying Art Series is a long-running initiative that showcases Indigenous Australian artwork on selected aircraft, continuing a tradition that includes earlier famous designs such as “Wunala Dreaming” and “Mendoowoorrji”. The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner VH-ZND entered service in this special livery as part of Qantas’ modern fleet strategy, combining next-generation long-haul efficiency with cultural storytelling through aviation design.

The “Yam Dreaming” artwork is based on a painting by Emily Kame Kngwarreye, one of Australia’s most significant contemporary Indigenous artists. The design was adapted for the aircraft in collaboration with Indigenous design specialists, transforming the Dreamliner into a flying canvas that represents cultural heritage, identity, and connection to Country.
