Noticed today that the Kiosk check in had its screens updated mid way through the day at Canberra (Would probably have been a nationwide update), however all the Capital Airport Group screens still show Virgin Blue (And knowing them, they will for quite a while). Found it quite humourous as well that The Australian (And the Sydney Morning Herald, probably others) had a large front cover spread advertising Virgin Australia. A very clever move by VA marketing, as they are all papers that ended up on the free paper stands at Qantas terminals throughout the country.

So when are we expecting to see the first ATRs arrive?

RE ATR: I think its July the first one comes. There is a topic in the Australain Aviation on 5 new airports they may fly to with the ATR Armidale, Tamworth, Gladstone, Bundaberg and Emerald.
Also AA online says the rebranding will cost it $35 million

Was watching Getaway last night for abit, and notice that they're still plugging Virginblue.com.au for the airfares to the capital cities!

well its not going to change overnight mate is it, computer systems, advertising etc etc takes a long time to be changed over to new name. Getaway show was prob put together weeks ago I would say so havent changed the advertising yet.

VH-YFC in flight now to Townsville operating DJ371 from Brissy. Due into TSV at 1400 local.
