VB/PB livery rebranding starts.

[Rob C]

VOZ is to be named Palm Beach

[Stefan Perkas]

Evening all,

Something that hasn't been mentioned in this thread...

Skywest Fokker 50 VH-FNA departed Perth for Townsville earlier in the week to be re-painted into Virgin Australia Colours.

[Rowan McKeever]

That'll be something different Stefan! I assume a few of the F50s will go soon as more ATRs come online, is that the plan?

[Dom Fortey]

Just letting everyone know, VOZ is on its way back from Singapore as VOZ9942 in at 0626 local at this stage.

VHFSQ - F100 is also getting repainted

F100 VH-FSQ did a two hour test flight yesterday at Seletar after nearly three months in maintenance.

F50 VH-FNA is scheduled to return to Perth from Townsville via Alice Springs tomorrow (11/3/13).

These two are apparently in VA livery?

Wonder if it is timed that they are both in Perth together for some ceremony (if they are painted in VA livery)?

[J Brown]

-FSQ is due TSV later today (all going as planned of course)

[David Eyre]

Skywest Fokker 50 VH-FNA arrived back at Perth yesterday from Townsville via Alice Springs.

It was painted all-white, without titles.

There is a Skywest shareholders meeting on 13 March 2013 - this is the final hurdle for the takeover by Virgin Australia. Given that shareholder approval has not yet been obtained, perhaps this is the reason that they could not paint the aircraft in full Virgin Australia colours? It could also be that they want to do a big media announcement and roll out after the shareholder meeting...

Regards,
David
