Interesting that neither VUJ and YFJ were back on or updated in the register.

I guess because they wanted to get it into service quickly and will want to worry more about the interior than the exterior.
(Apologies but I can't find any public photos)
Read on another forum that it had a total repaint.

IQW? the first Silk Air?
Yeah, no, definitely didn't have a full repaint, have seen the pics and she's dirty from aft of the nose to forward of the tail.

Not sure what they are doing with IJQ.

A full strip and repaint is 12-14 days, give or take.

Anything less than that is a touch up job.

So the ex-Silk Air birds given their age would have the Sky Interiors i presume. Will they outfit these to match the standard fit out? Purple dividers, seat colours etc...
