Flynas × Al Hilal: branded aircraft CGI animation
Neutral Digital partnered with flynas to produce a cinematic CGI animation that brings to life the airline’s flagship A320neo in partnership with Al Hilal Saudi Football Club. As the first aircraft in the Middle East dedicated to a football club’s livery, the visual launch needed to reflect the energy of sport, the ambition of the airline, and the prestige of Saudi Vision 2030.
Task
Create a dynamic exterior CGI animation to showcase the new Al Hilal–themed A320neo livery, capturing club pride and flynas’ expanding international ambition ahead of the aircraft’s debut.
Bringing aviation and sport together.
flynas has introduced the first aircraft in the Middle East dedicated to a football club – a landmark collaboration with Al Hilal Saudi Football Club. Neutral Digital supported its global reveal by producing cinematic CGI crafted to unite the visual intensity of football culture with the elegance and discipline of modern aviation.
This A320neo, dressed in a specially designed livery, symbolises flynas’ commitment to expanding connectivity while honouring the cultural spirit of the Kingdom and the ambitions of Saudi Vision 2030.
Translating club identity into cinematic visual language.
The aircraft is defined by Al Hilal’s unmistakable blue, expressed through bold lines and graphic gestures that echo the rhythm and energy of the game. Our animation emphasises the interplay between sport and national identity by allowing the livery to unfold gradually across smooth camera paths, realistic reflections and expansive aerial environments.
Crucially, the CGI was designed to integrate seamlessly into the wider brand film celebrating the partnership, reinforcing the unity between airline and club and helping the narrative flow as a single, coherent story.
By pairing controlled movement with natural sky lighting, the film delivers a sense of momentum and purpose, presenting a launch moment that communicates both pride and ambition.
Minimalism with purpose.
The creative direction was intentionally understated. Rather than relying on overt effects, we allowed the aircraft to hold the frame through clean compositions, calm pacing and precise control of colour and light. This clarity ensures every detail of the livery is given space to breathe, elevating the visual narrative into something confident, refined and quietly expressive of the values shared by both brands.
A milestone for the region.
The CGI animation and images supported the official unveiling of the aircraft and provided flynas with a versatile suite of visual assets. By adopting CGI early, flynas began telling this story before the aircraft entered service, equipping the team with material capable of building anticipation and strengthening fan engagement across markets.
As the first collaboration of its kind in the Middle East, this project represents a new cultural intersection – where aviation branding, national storytelling and football passion converge.
In doing so, it demonstrates how CGI can accelerate narrative development, enable pre-delivery marketing and cultivate emotional connection with travellers and supporters alike.
