Word is at work that the first Qantaslink aircraft won't be painted till at least the second half of 2018. Sad really because some of those q400 and 300's are looking very tired. Doubt very much we will see any 200's get the new livery. But again things tend to change quickly over here at the moment so anything goes.

SBW will ferry BNE-TSV tomorrow for repaint.

50/50 bet as to whether it'll come out as JQ or the new QF livery.

SBW positioning to BNE tomorrow, could not find any flying for it in the near future so Im gonna guess there will either be further positioning to TMW for maintenance or it will be a JQ bird headed across the ditch

Supposedly (according to a source in TSV), this aircraft is painted all white.

Should be a fun trip bumping out of Townsville today, I see HTI is already reporting 50kt winds.

I've been told it's a spare aircraft for NZ as the 300's over there need to come back to TMW for heavy maintenance.

So I assume it will go across the ditch to cover checks and then return here to do the same operating for both JQ and QLK??? Cannot see another reason for it to be all white unless it has been removed from the fleet entirely and awaiting delivery to a new owner

The QLink fleet will start to be repainted from July this year.

Urgently needed, especially when some aircraft are starting to show the green paint. Take NXM, (717), paint job needed urgently!!!
