Note: Ferrying with N Reg.

[Brian Wilkes]

What routes are they going to be used for?

[lloyd fox]

From the articles i have read mainly fifo routes seems to be the suggestion.

I would also suggest that possibly regional routes that VA cannot fly .

The ACCC have received in the last day or so a new agreement request with Virgin and Alliance for greater co-operation.

The E190 is TRW-BNE today.

[Brian Wilkes]

Thanks Lloyd.

[Dennis McLean]

Due BNE at 17.38

I was told today that American registered aircraft do not carry the registration under the wing.Is that correct? If so then this is a rare pic as you can see the US reg under the wing.

Embraer 190 AR 190.00212 HP-1568CMP Copa Airlines ferried 28oct20 PTY-SJO, basic cs, for Alliance Airlines ex PT-SGV

[Greg Hyde]

I was told today that American registered aircraft do not carry the registration under the wing.Is that correct? If so then this is a rare pic as you can see the US reg under the wing.

Lloyd, I wonder (couldn't tell from your images) if the US reg were stickers which could be torn off to reveal the OZ reg.

The ones under the wings may cover the Aust. Reg.

[Robert.M]

This would explain why US reg lack rego on the wing.

Until December 31, 1960, the required location for display of nationality and identification marks for fixed- wing aircraft was the wing surfaces, and the vertical surface of either the tail or fuselage. Effective January 1, 1960, all fixed-wing aircraft were required to display identification marks on the vertical surfaces or either the tail or fuselage. Wing surface markings were no longer required.

From QQ facebook page

Just like VH-UYZ (below) each of our 14 new Embraer’s will be registered VH – UY[ ].
These registrations are very special to Alliance in two ways.
1. The call sign our pilots proudly use on each and every flight is UNITY.
2. Between January 1929 and February 1938 all Australian aircraft were registered VH – U[ ][ ] using the last two letters of the previous British G – AU registration. For example Smithy’s famous Southern Cross G – AUSU became VH – USU.

[lloyd fox]

Sorry Greg i have been away and out of comms the past few days.I also don't know if they are stickers or not Greg.

Alliance Aviation signs for another 16 E190s

Alliance Aviation has signed for 16 Embraer 190 aircraft and one spare GE Aviation CF34 engine from US-based Jetran LLC in a A$85 million ($65 million) deal, marking the completion of its short-term fleet expansion plans.

The operator plans to fund the transaction through a mixture of existing cash facilities, operating cash flows and debt, it said today in a disclosure to the Australian Securities Exchange.

Alliance Aviation first announced its acquisition of Embraer E190s in August.

“Alliance has again taken advantage of its strong financial position and current market conditions to acquire these quality aircraft at compelling value,” managing director Scott McMillan states.

“The 100-seat jet aircraft market globally will rebound quickly as carriers look to focus on total trip costs rather than traditional metrics.”

According to Alliance, the aircraft were previously operated by American Airlines and are configured with 99 seats across two classes. Alliance will receive these over an 11-month period, starting with five this month and one a month until November 2021.

“This additional capacity will be deployed to capture several growth opportunities across Australia including contract flying and wet- and dry-lease operations,” Alliance states.

Alliance announced on 3 August that it was acquiring 14 E190s from US-based lessor Azorra Aviation, along with six spare CF34 engines. The agreement, which includes options to acquire another five E190s, as well as a full flight simulator and other training equipment, was valued at $79.4 million.

The aircraft from Azorra were due to deliver progressively over eight months commencing September 2020.

McMillan states in the 18 December disclosure: “This transaction completes Alliance’s short-term fleet expansion strategy and while the Azzora transaction included options for five additional aircraft, these options will now not be exercised.”

Alliance further states that the E190 simulator in the Azzora transaction is currently in transit to Brisbane and will be utilised for most of the initial and all recurrent pilot training.

Total of 30 E190's

[James Smith]

Alliance Airlines has ordered 16 additional E190s.

Alliance Airlines will bolster its fledgling jet fleet with the purchase of 16 Embraer E190s, on top of the 14 already ordered from Copa Airlines.

The E190s, previously flown by American Airlines and retired in April this year, have been snared in an $85 million deal which also includes one spare engine.

Alliance will take delivery of the first five jets this month, and then one per month will be handed over across January to November 2021.

The E190s will arrive in American's 99-seat configuration of

8 business class seats (in a 2-1 arrangement) with 36" pitch
4 extra-legroom economy seats (at the exit row) with 34" pitch
80 economy seats with 31-32" pitch

That makes the price for each aircraft less than $6 million.

But what are they intending to do with 30 extra jets ??

ASX RELEASE

ASX: AQZ


Alliance Aviation Services Limited further expands the fleet with the acquisition of an additional 16 Embraer E190 aircraft

Alliance Aviation Services Limited (“Alliance”) has today entered into an agreement with Jetran LLC, of the United States, to further expand its fleet through the purchase of 16 additional Embraer E190 aircraft and one spare General Electric CF34 engine.

The total acquisition price for the package is AUD85 million which will be funded through a mixture of existing cash facilities, operating cash flows and debt.

“Alliance has again taken advantage of its strong financial position and current market conditions to acquire these quality aircraft at compelling value. The 100 seat jet aircraft market globally will rebound quickly as carriers look to focus on total trip costs rather than traditional metrics,” said Managing Director, Scott McMillan.

The aircraft were previously operated by American Airlines and are in a 99 seat two-class cabin configuration and will deliver to Alliance over an eleven-month period beginning with five aircraft in December 2020 and then one a month until November 2021.

This additional capacity will be deployed to capture several growth opportunities across Australia including contract flying and wet and dry lease operations.

“The acquisition of these 16 aircraft is in addition to the previously disclosed acquisition of 14 E190 aircraft from Azzora Aviation. This transaction completes Alliance’s short-term fleet expansion strategy and while the Azzora transaction included options for five additional aircraft, these options will now not be exercised.” he said.
The E190 simulator purchased as part of the Azzora E190 transaction is currently in transit to Brisbane and will be utilised for most of the initial and all recurrent pilot training.

Alliance expects that the E190 will be added to its CASA Air Operator’s Certificate during March 2021. There is forecast to be no material impact on the FY21 financial performance as a result of this acquisition, with the full year impact of the transaction expected in FY23.

Alliance will be releasing its half year results on Wednesday, 10thFebruary 2021.

These two may be getting ready to head our way ?

[Dennis McLean]

Just had a look at the Australian Register and it appears that UYB, C, E, F, I, J, K, N, O, P, R, U and Y are available. So after Z and W that leaves only 13 available. So the remaining 12 from COPA may get all but one of these ???????????

[Brenden S]

Don't forget that Alliance have most likely reserved some registrations.

[Dylan Hardie]

N932QQ operated at test flight out of San Jose as SXI2101 and due into Brisbane later this week

[lloyd fox]

Thanks Dylan and it is on it's way to Hawaii this time.Should be in BNE tomorrow arvo.

[Dennis McLean]

Correct me if I am wrong, but from what I can find N974QQ is VH-UYW. N932QQ has arrived and perhaps it is to be VH-UYY, but there is nothing on the Australian Register yet

[lloyd fox]

VH-UYY today at BNE:)

My apologies yes I've read the list the wrong way

N922QQ is VH-UYZ
N974QQ is VH-UYW
N932QQ is VH-UYY

[Dennis McLean]

Hi Dylan, thanks. I have had a look at the CASA registration list for "UY?". It would appear that the VH regos are going backwards with the youngest Copa aircraft being Z, second youngest Y, third youngest W as X belongs to an EMB-505 Executive aircraft. The next one available is U as V is an Aerostar 600.

[Greg Hyde]

The Aus Civil Register search engine only looks at the last update and is not real-time.

The Updates normally run over the weekend and the latest searchable register is normally available on Monday morning.

If you check it on a weekend you will get updated information, up to the previous weekend, if the update hasn't run yet. (ie: A week behind)

If you check Available Marks you will find that there are no "UY" in the listing so I expect that Alliance has reserved all the regos that are already in use.

I'm confused !

Airfleets.net has HP-1568CMP being stored as N932QQ in October 2020 and being registered VH-UYY in January 2021.

What is correct former rego - N932QQ or N974QQ ?

According to a post on 19/12/20, Alliance has acquired another 16 E190s previously operated by American Airlines.

The report went on to say that the aircraft would be acquired over an 11 month period starting with five to be delivered in December 2020 and then one a month until until November 2021.

Does anyone know the status of this order, details of the aircraft involved etc.

Thanks in advance.

[Greg Hyde]

The AA aircraft are currently stored in Roswell

Withdrawn in April 2020 they were then ferried to Roswell

The a/c in question are:

https://www.airfleets.net/flottecie/American%20Airlines-stored-e190.htm

excluding several which have already been leased.

When I last checked, they were all still stored in Roswell

[Greg Hyde]

Noted some activity on the register to free up space the XV block.
(ie: Changing from XV to another rego).

Since 01/02 there has been 4 changes.

My guess (could be wrong) is that QQ will use the XV for the ex. AA E190's

[Greg Hyde]

Embraer 190 AR 190.00089 HP-1561CMP Copa Airlines ferried 10feb21 PTY-SJO, for Alliance Airlines ex PT-SNH

N998QQ arr, on 18 November, N938QQ on 30 December, N912QQ on 7 January, N916QQ on 20 January plus the one you just mentioned. The remaining 6 are still in PTY.

[Greg Hyde]

N916QQ was added to US reg on 11/02

Is there room at Brissie to park all these Ejets ?

[lloyd fox]

Yep plenty of room Greg.They have already put one of them on the old closed runway 14/32.During the pandemic at it's worst there were approx 23 aircraft on the old runway and today there were only 4.This is just one spot only as there are other spaces on the old Papa and Lima taxiways and the old ITB apron.:)

[lloyd fox]

Rego's left for use by Alliance are UYB, C, E, F, I, J, K, N, O, P, R, U. N998QQ (ex HP-1563CMP) is the 6th youngest of the 14 coming so I guess it will be UYP.

Great scheme and the light blue is reminiscent of the colour worn on the CAF's PC-9, A23-006 in the late 80s.

[David C]

Beautiful scheme on the Embraer . Would be great to see a 4 ship formation with this one , the Smithy F70 , Breast Cancer F70 and the 1919 Great Air Race F70 . They certainly have some good “special liveries”

[Dennis McLean]

According to the Alliance facebook site it will be VH-UYB

[Greg Hyde]

The Aircraft is the 5th (of 30) Embraer E190 aircraft joining Alliance Airlines fleet and will be registered VH-UYB. The aircraft is powered by two GE CF34-10E5 engines and has a passenger configuration of 10 Business Class seats and 84 Economy seats.

The photos were taken after exiting a 10 day repaint by Coopesa in San Jose (Costa Rica).

The design of the livery was undertaken by Alliance Airlines and Lila Design in close consultation with the Air Force and is a tribute to Air Force’s 100 years of service to Australia on the 31st March 2021.

The one off metallic paint is inspired by the color of uniforms worn by many, many thousands of dedicated Air Force personnel and has been specially formulated by Alliance Airlines in close co-operation with Mankiewicz Coatings.

The F-35A Lightning II, the Australian Defence Force’s Air first fifth-generation air combat capability, is silhouetted speeding through the Air Force 100 Logo.

A SE5a bi-plane, Spitfire, Canberra, F-111, P-8A Poseidon, C-17A Globemaster III and F/A-18F Super Hornet representing different eras and historic and significant Air Force aircraft feature on the tail.
The aircraft is scheduled to operate from San Jose (Costa Rica) to San Diego (USA) to Honolulu (USA) to Majuro (Marshall Islands) and arrive in Brisbane (Australia) prior to the 31st March 2021.

Once arrived the aircraft will join the Australian civil aircraft register and operate in revenue service throughout Australia.

Chairman of Alliance Airlines, Mr Steve Padgett OAM is a former Air Force Cadet and is a National Council Member of the Australian Air Force Cadets Foundation.

N912QQ due into Brisbane Thursday afternoon operating as SXI2114

[Dennis McLean]

HP1560CMP completed a test flight on 18 March PTY/PTY of 1h 32m. So it appears it should be moving to SJO soon. Its Construction Number is 19000056 so it should become N956QQ

[Greg Hyde]

Spot on Dennis,

N956QQ has been reserved

[Greg Hyde]

That should leave HP1557CMP, HP1559CMP, HP1560CMP, HP1564CMP awaiting delivery in Panama City

[Dennis McLean]

Hi Greg,

I think you mean HP1565CMP as HP15601560 did the recent test flight

[Greg Hyde]

Thanks Dennis,

HP1565CMP should be added to the list

[Dylan Hardie]

VH-UYW planned to conduct test flights out of Brisbane today

Out of interest UYZ conducted 2 missed approaches into Amberley this morning

[Greg Hyde]

N912QQ has performed a test flight at SJO.

[Dennis McLean]

N912QQ due to leave SJO in 2h 50m at 09.04am CST for SDM due at 01.34pm PDT, Tuesday 23 March as SXI2114.

[Dennis McLean]

Flight changed to (scheduled)- SJO to TUS at 1.20pm CST/5.09pm MST, 23 March. It is already almost 3 hours late.

[Dylan Hardie]

Looks like they've cancelled it all for today

[Greg Hyde]

N912QQ is finally underway as SXI2114.

Interestingly the first stop is Tuscon rather than San Diego

https://flightaware.com/live/flight/SXI2114

[Greg Hyde]

SXI12114 has left Tuscon, refueled at Oakland and is heading to Honolulu

[Dennis McLean]

I am guessing it should arrive at HNL about 10.45 local time, so will it depart HNL for MAJ and BNE the next morning about 9.15am as N998QQ did or will the crew need more rest time??

[Greg Hyde]

From the Facebook post, the plan was to get the aircraft here before the 31/03/21 to celebrate the RAAF 100th.

[Dennis McLean]

It landed at HNL at 9.46pm local time so perhaps 12 hours rest and it may leave around 10am local time Thurs which would put it in BNE around 5.30/6pm Friday???

[David C]

It departed HNL at 0949hrs local and is due to land BNE at 1726 hrs today after a refuelling at MAJ .

[Dennis McLean]

Now due at 18.26.

[Dennis McLean]

HP1560CMP ferried PTY/SJO on 24 March. This should become N956QQ. There are now 5 in SJO, almost 5 in BNE and 4 in PTY

[Greg Hyde]

Beautiful scheme on the Embraer . Would be great to see a 4 ship formation with this one , the Smithy F70 , Breast Cancer F70 and the 1919 Great Air Race F70 . They certainly have some good “special liveries”

Australia's Alliance Air launches E190 commercial ops

Alliance Airlines (QQ, Brisbane Int'l) on April 10 launches commercial service with its recently acquired ERJ 190-100AR fleet based out of Adelaide and Darwin.

In an Australian Stock Exchange filing, the regional carrier, previously an all Fokker Aircraft operator, announced it had received regulatory approval and a revised Air Operator's Certificate (AOC) from the country’s Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) on March 31 to commence commercial operations with its E190 fleet. This followed “an intense six-month programme of aircraft and spare parts acquisition, maintenance, training, and regulatory and compliance checks,” it said.

Alliance Air Chief Executive Officer Lee Schofield confirmed the operating base for these aircraft would be Adelaide and Darwin. Three aircraft would be wet-leased to Qantas (QF, Sydney Kingsford Smith) from May 25, 2021, on a previously-announced three-year wet-lease contract. These aircraft will also be based in Adelaide and Darwin.

Alliance has firm purchase commitments for the delivery of thirty E190s to be used to expand the airline’s operations. So far, 18 aircraft have been paid for and delivered to Alliance. The balance of 12 aircraft would be delivered progressively through to November 2021. Fourteen of the E190s have been acquired from Azorra Aviation and sixteen from Jetran, both US-based lessors, the airline revealed previously.

The status of those delivered are as follows: Five have been delivered to Australia; three are receiving base maintenance overseas; and 10 are in storage pending base maintenance.

The company’s full flight simulator is scheduled to be available for training in early May with pilots currently being trained with Finnair (AY, Helsinki Vantaa) in Helsinki.

The carrier said its fleet of twenty-seven Fokker 100s, five Fokker 50s, and fourteen Fokker 70s is used across fly-in- fly-out (FIFO), charter, and wet-lease operations.

Final approval for Virgin–Alliance collaboration on 41 routes

The ACCC has granted final permission for Virgin and Alliance to collaborate on 41 regional routes until 31 March 2023.

Australia’s competition commission had earlier granted interim authorisation in November despite fierce opposition from Rex.

The deal will allow Virgin to share information on cost, capacity, and flight schedules with Alliance in order to help serve smaller towns with its post-administration, stripped-back fleet, arguing that ceding market share to Qantas could result in more expensive fares for passengers.

The 41 routes included services to regional towns from Brisbane, Alice Springs, Perth and Cairns. The full list is at the bottom of this article.

In its initial ruling published in November, the ACCC said, “The co-operation will allow Virgin Australia and Alliance Airlines to share information, and to agree on service capacity, schedules and potentially revenue sharing on the routes on which they operate, including for new routes not currently serviced by either airline.

“The co-operation will mean that Virgin Australia and Alliance Airlines will not compete with each other on the routes covered by the agreement.

“Our preliminary view is that any public detriment resulting from reduced competition between Alliance Airlines and Virgin Australia is likely to be limited, given Alliance Airlines’ limited number of scheduled regular passenger services. We will consider this issue further in the course of our review of the substantive application.

Got to love it, Qantas owns a portion of Alliance, so essentially Virgin is paying Qantas a small fortune!

Nothing unexpected there. Cheaper for VA than running VARA mk1

Australian Executive traveller states some in Qantaslink livery

QantasLink will debut non-stop flights between Canberra and Darwin next month, along with a new Adelaide-Gold Coast service.

Using Embraer E190 jets leased from Alliance Airlines, flights between Darwin and the national capital are the first to kick off, taking wing from June 21.

That's followed shortly after with the new Adelaide-Gold Coast route, running four times a week from June 25.

Those E190s will be painted in QantasLink colours and offer 10 seats in business class and 84 in economy – but without WiFi or video streaming, passengers will want to bring their own device pre-loaded with entertainment.

Qantas had originally committed to leasing three E190s from Alliance, with this move pushing that to eight: and with options for six more.

[Greg Hyde]

N938QQ should arrive in Brissie at around 18:00 tonight

[Dennis McLean]

Hey Greg It arrived Saturday night Dennis

[Greg Hyde]

thks, Dennis

Was it in Qlink livery ?

[lloyd fox]

Negative Greg.

[Greg Hyde]

thanks, Lloyd.

I thought that the Ex-Copa birds may be used for QLink based on their previous config.

From seatGuru

Copa 10 & 84
AA 11 & 88

Note: digits are the last two digits of the HP15xxCMP reg

[Max C]

QF has said the Ejets they are using are 2 class (94 seat so possibly 8J/86Y)

[Dennis McLean]

I think the Copa birds are 10/84

[Dennis McLean]

just checked they are

First of the ex-AA birds

[Dennis McLean]

Thanks Greg. Interesting with 2 of the Copa machines still in Panama?? Do you have a rego for N938QQ yet, I am guessing it will be UYF

[Greg Hyde]

N938QQ hasn't been added to reg as of last Friday, so you will have to wait another week.

The ex. AA birds maybe to used for QLink so they may of been pushed up the queue for maint and repaint. Also I expect that the AA birds will be registered in the VH-XV block as there was a large number of movements out of that block earlier in the year.

[lloyd fox]

First time i have photographed VH-UYY.:)

Forgot PTY/PTY No 15. No movement at the moment in SJO

[Dennis McLean]

N916QQ has completed a SJO/SJO as SXI 2130 on 21 May 08.19 to 09.07 CST. Looks like it is the next one to be delivered.

[Dennis McLean]

N916QQ departing SJO on delivery at 08.32 CST for SDM arr 1.02PM PST

Landed at HNL at 6.24pm HST, 3.24pm our time, 8 minutes ago. all going well it should be here late tomorrow.

[Dennis McLean]

On the way from HNL, due to leave MAJ at 2.10pm and arrive in BNE at 5.52pm

[Dennis McLean]

Due to arrive at MAJ at 1pm their time, 11am ours

[Greg Hyde]

N938QQ was added to reg on 19/05 as (drum-roll) VH-UYF

[Dennis McLean]

Thanks Greg, at last. N916QQ on the way from MAJ due in BNE at 17.32 tonight. It is all WHITE, confirmed by a call to MAJ Airport.

[Greg Hyde]

Maybe headed to Townsville or Wagga for a Qlink paint job

[Dennis McLean]

I guess it will be here for a few days after it arrives, got to get registered first, UYC no doubt. Does Tamworth have a paint shop?

[Dylan Hardie]

Has currently diverted to TRW enroute to BNE

[Greg Hyde]

I have noticed a pattern within the regos

VH-UYB 19000012
VH-UY? 19000016
VH-UYF 19000038
VH-UYO 19000098
VH-UYW 19000174
VH-UYY 19000212
VH-UYZ 19000222

If the pattern continues N916QQ should be "C" or "E"

Also the following regos are still available within the UY block

C, E, I, J,K, N, P, R, U

[Dennis McLean]

Hi Greg, N916QQ should be UYC. One of the letters will be missed cannot even guess which one?? It is due to depart TRW at 6.00pm local time and arrive in BNE at 9.26pm after being diverted. Bit dark to get a pic then, haha.

[lloyd fox]

On it's way to BNE.ETA 1010am today.:)

[Dennis McLean]

Have had another look at the Copa Fleet. There were 15 aircraft in total with the 4th youngest 19000165 (HP-1566CMP) now with Ego Airways as I-EGOA. My thoughts are if it was available for Alliance it would have been VH-UYU following the pattern. I think U is the one to miss out.

19000016 - UYC
19000034 - UYE
19000053 - UYI
19000056 - UYJ
19000089 - UYK
19000095 - UYN
19000100 - UYP
19000126 - UYR

My thoughts only, any comments.

[Greg Hyde]

Alliance commenced operating QLink services today with their E190 fleet

From what I've seen, these are the first Qlink services for each aircraft. There flights are either completed and/or scheduled

UYB QF1950, Adelaide to Darwin
UYO QF1958, Darwin to Alice Springs
UYW QF1956, Adeliade to Alice Springs
UYY QF1960, Darwin to Alice Springs
UYZ QF1954, Adelaide to Alice Springs

[James Smith]

QANTAS has stated in its E190 based in Adelaide media release that, "the aircraft will be painted in QantasLink livery..."

Will this result in the five current E190s now in service with QANTAS being repainted, including UYB in its unique Defence colour scheme, or will future E190 deliveries from Copa or American be painted in QLink livery prior to delivery, or after delivery, and be substituted for the current five? It would seem a waste to paint the current aircraft in the Alliance scheme prior to delivery and then repaint them as QLink only months later. Maybe N916QQ will be the first to be repainted as it was delivered in all white colours.

Any thoughts on this?

Also, the five E190s have entered service with QLink in a 10J/84Y seating configuration according to QANTAS Source.

[Greg Hyde]

Of the 14 x ex-Copa birds

BNE 6x(VH)
BNE 1x(N)
PTY 2x(57,64)
CJO 5X(59,60,61,62,65)

Only half of the ex-Copa birds (7 x 94Pax) have been delivered. The QFLink livery has been known publicly for some time. I expect that a number of the remaining seven (and N916QQ) will be delivered in all white livery and painted locally or arrive in QLink livery. They will swap out the existing aircraft as new aircraft in QLink livery become available.

Paint here or in SJO will depend on the cost. From memory both Wagga & Townsville have repainted aircraft in QLink livery.

[James Smith]

Thanks for your input, Greg. The QANTAS media release went on to say that:

The E190s are 94-seat jets with a five-hour range which are being deployed on Qantas’ network as part of a three-year deal with Alliance Airlines. The deal provides the national carrier with the capacity provided by up to 14 jet aircraft, depending on market conditions. Today’s announcement brings the number of aircraft activated as part of the agreement to eight.

Interesting - a three year deal with Alliance, eight E190s activated and up to 14 aircraft in the deal. The 14 just happens to be the number of E190s that Alliance is taking from Copa.

[Dennis McLean]

I have seen the seating map for the E.190's, rather strange with Row 1 having 1 seat only on Port side and no seats on the Starboard side. Rows 2-4 are 1 and 2. Then there are 21 Rows of 2 - 2 Total 10J/84Y

[Steve S... 2]

PlaneSpotters.net is now showing QantasLink as having one Embraer pending delivery - 19000016 N916QQ and will be registered VH-UYC.

So I guess it won't be all white for long :)

[Greg Hyde]

Guys,

I don't think (could be wrong) that QF/QLink have leased specific aircraft (ie: VH-UYC).
They would of leased a number of E190's, in QFLink livery and 94PAX.

So, after the fleet settles down (with all the appropriate in livery) they may have an extra a/c in QLink livery as a spare in-case an a/c goes u/s. Also a spare when an a/c is under maintenance. Again that has to be specified in the agreement.

QF has leased (or may need) "ALL" COPA Jets so that QQ can't do anything else with them. That's why the AA birds were added later.

I would be REALLY SURPRISED if QQ repainted a/c with fresh paint.

[Max C]

Of the 14, Qantas have only said that 5 will be painted in full QantasLink colours. Others may remain white or stay in QQ colours. To change from all white to QantasLink would only require a few days at most.

The cabin crew are in QF uniforms and the aircraft have a small “Operated on behalf of QantasLink” sticker by the forward door.

QQ also seem to have stopped using the E190’s to cover for Air North for the moment.

[lloyd fox]

Yes all the white ones will be painted in QFlink livery and the originals will come back to Alliance.VH-UYC is the first of mayby up to 5 coming in all white?..Have heard 3 will just have stickers? So 5 painted in QFlink livery and 3 with stickers.

Alliance have as yet not announced their leasing of aircraft for VA and also for their own RPT scheds and also their fifo.They will need many for those requirements.UYB,Z,W,Y i feel will come back to Alliance to be part of those requirements.:)

[Dennis McLean]

HP-1564CMP ferried PTY/SJO on 27 May their time as Copa CM1564.

[Greg Hyde]

N916QQ became VH-UYC on 04/06

[Dennis McLean]

N955UW, has been delivered from ROW to SJO on 5 June. There are now 6 COPA E.190's in SJO and 2 American ones. It would appear that HP-1562 CMP did a SJO/SJO flight on 27 May. Flight Aware showed a 47 min flight but there was no flight showing in the Map area?????

[Chris Mack]

Lets hope the re-painting goes a whole lot smoother than the appalling on-time performance thus far.

[Dennis McLean]

N954UW has now ferried from ROW to SJO arriving at 1.55pm CST Sunday

[Dennis McLean]

First flight by VH-UYC, the white one, QQ9821, BNE/CBR, today 16 June, 12.42pm/2.26pm.

[Dennis McLean]

HP1557 CMP, the last COPA E.190 for Alliance has completed a test flight PTY/PTY, 12 hours ago on 15 June EST. I guess it will not be long before it ferries to SJO

[Dylan Hardie]

UYC looks to be doing training flights for the new QF flights. Due to operate CBR-DRW this afternoon

QQ also seem to have stopped using the E190’s to cover for Air North for the moment.

An additional four announced yesterday.
Additional E190s for QantasLink
The national carrier today announced an expansion of its three-year deal with Alliance Airlines, which provides QantasLink with capacity using Alliance’s Embraer E190 regional jet aircraft and the flexibility to respond to changing market conditions.
The expanded agreement will see the airline increase its options under this deal from 14 jet aircraft to a total of 18. Of this, three are already flying with another five to enter service by October. The E190s will be painted in QantasLink livery and are part of Qantas growing its domestic capacity to at least 107 per cent of pre-COVID levels in FY22.
The first of the 94-seat E190 jets started flying on the QantasLink network last month. The jet’s five-hour range makes it well suited to linking regional centres with smaller capital cities. The introduction of E190s also frees up Qantas’ Boeing 737 aircraft to be redeployed across the domestic network, enabling the airline to launch a number of new routes and add frequencies on existing ones.
Canberra-Adelaide is the latest route to benefit from additional flights made possible by the E190, with frequencies to double from nine per week to 18 per week from mid-July.

VH UYC the white one has gone into service with Air North. Thursday it did - DRW/GOV/CNS/GOV/DRW/PER. Today is PER/DRW, was due to leave at 10.10am PER time but is still on the ground. E.170 VH-ANT has not moved since Tuesday night so ??? is it going to Clark for maintenance like ANO did in April. ANV, O and SWO are all working today. Interesting though SWO is currently on the way back to DRW after doing DRW/PER this morning.

I have had a look for any possible movements. There are none at the moment - ROW/SJO ferry flight or SJO/SJO test flight.

Perhaps the 2 Helvetic ones will be the next to move??

Also had a look at CASA no rego for N989QQ which arrived on 30 June. The US Rego appears to have been cancelled on 6 July.

The US Regos are normally cancelled within days of arrival.

N989QQ became VH-UYK on 15/07

Thanks Greg, I looked at CASA early this morning but nothing, so it must be there now.

[Greg Hyde]

I believe that UYC is being operated by Air North crews.

UYC was sub-leased to Air North from 02/07.

Not sure of the lease duration

HP1562CMP/N995QQ was test flown in SJO yesterday.

Maybe the next arrival

[Dennis McLean]

On its way to SDM now

[Dennis McLean]

It has not moved from SDM yet??
