Actually 30+4 now. (see Above)

QRO is Jetblues E190 maintenance base.

In the past a/c will stay at QRO for about a month before returning to service.

I haven't noticed this N258JB being withdrawn (only parked).

It may be an operational spare in case another a/c goes u/s.

Interestingly the info I could find didn't highlight JetBlue maintenance at QRO, but that makes sense.

I hope they do somthing with those worn out B6 interiors.

From what I've read, QQ will be using SJO for maintenance/paint before heading our way.

It would also make sense to perform engine changes and parting-out at SJO. Filling the holds and cabins with spares before heading for their new home.

UYW has returned from Slovakia now painted up into QF colors

Greg Hyde 8th August 2023 01:12 PM

Thanks Dylan,

By my count, QQ (E190 x 33) now has

Logojet x 1
White x 3 (AirNorth)
QQ x 10
QLink x 19

with UYW/UYY/UYZ having repaints

Hi Greg, VH-XVQ is still all white and has NOT flown since its arrival in Brisbane on 11/9/2021 as N954UW.

Rowan McKeever 8th August 2023 04:01 PM

I believe XVQ is a parts donor and will never fly for QQ.

The 3x Airnorth are two all-white (UYC & UYR) and one in QQ livery (UYJ).

None of that changes your totals (it's still UYB + 3x white + 10x QQ + remainder QF), just what's operating where/for whom.

Thanks for the updates.

XVQ (depending on the frame life) may fly again once the parts from the next deal with Jetblue start to arrive. XVQ is s/n 139 which is about 3 yrs younger than the Jetblue a/c.

Rowan McKeever 8th August 2023 04:52 PM

That makes sense Greg, I've not heard anything about XVQ since before the B6 deal was announced so hadn't made that connection in my mind as yet ;)

UYJ was in Perth today flying for AirNorth and is painted in Alliance colours.
