The state-owned Indian Airlines is going in for a makeover with a new name'Indian' and a logo inspired by Konark sun temple in Orissa, ahead of new aircraft joining its fleet.

Announcing the change here on Wednesday, Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel said the makeover will begin with the three leased Airbus A319s joining the fleet this month.

The first of the A319 arrived here on Wednesday bearing a vibrant logo of a flaming orange sun with a dash of blue inspired by the Konark sun temple.
