VOQ is no longer with her red nose cone, it's now back to white.

Repainting seems to have stalled, is that about right...??? I would've expected they'd want to get the new brand onto everything ASAP!?

Interesting...

After VA gloated that they would have close to 2/3rd's of the fleet in new livery by year end, they have only just scraped in at just over half.

In 18 months - VA have repainted just 10 aircraft. A further 6 white aircraft had the word Virgin added to their tail.

VA claimed there would be no more "red" livery by mid 2014... no way!

They have 42 aircraft to paint in only 20 months, that is not including a further 11 reds likely to be withdrawn in that period (VOL/M/N/S/T/U/W/X - VBU/V/Z).

Meanwhile, QF have lifted their game a little, with a number of 738's being repainted VXC, VXE, VXF... each taking only 12 days each.

Regards,

Steve S

VBV, VBU & VBZ are all staying for a while Steve! It's been mentioned before that 4x -700's will be staying!

Is the 100th Aircraft the next a330? Do you think they have anything special planned or just the standard paint?
