What's with the Star Alliance / SkyTeam decal planes?

The airplane that had SkyTeam as its logo is ACTUALLY a cargo plane. When SkyTeam was created they also formed SkyTeam cargo based in Amsterdam.

They are simply advertising, just the same as an airline may paint the logo of a sports team on an aircraft, or name it after a city. There is no other difference whatsoever, either in facilities or services, compared to the rest of the airline’s fleet.

There are several different Star Alliance livery schemes around, as a common design was not published until 2003 or so (and since Singapore keeps their own logo on their tails). According to an article in the February 2009 issue of Network, a magazine for employees of Star Alliance airlines, each carrier is committed to to paint at least 3% of their international fleet in this design, with a minimum of one, in order to promote the Star Alliance brand.
