It certainly is embarrassing hearing comments from passengers as they board some of our Dash 8 's in Sydney. A number of 300's and 400's are in dying need of a repaint. VH-TQX the last 200 in old livery could do with a coat as well.

One of the JQ Q300's will come back over on 04/04

Any word on when the next batch of 737-800's will be repainted as most of the VH-VY's are still in the old livery?

F100 VH-NHP is scheduled to go to WGA on Jun 09 for the new livery.

Q300's start on Jul 27 in TSV
Q400's in Dec
Q200's in 2019
B717's in Jul 218

All subject to change.

The entire process will take 5 years

Wow, I can't believe it will take that long! It has taken Qantas so long to repaint their fleet from the last brand update that there are now three versions of the 'roo flying around.

I know I am replying to an old post, been offline for a 6 weeks or so. Simple fact none of the Qantas livery changes since the 1984 change have been that big, so for the most part no to little need to rush them through. Unlike say when Virgin went from Virgin Blue to Virgin Australia, or a major change like American Airlines.

For the most part it is the plane nuts who would notice differences in the Qantas liveries, and even then, this plane nut doesn't take that much notice.

Should have started a paint shop and business card printer, I would be rich!

I can't believe NXK, L & M are going to stay looking as they are for another 13-14 months at least!!!

Any word on mainline fleet - B737s, etc?
