VOQ has been gone since 1st December so I would imagine it return around 21 December, we'll find out
The Virgin Australia Source [thevasource] reports that VOQ is back in new livery.

I have noticed a some of the fleet has had a partial refit. The new business class seats have been added and row 3 seats changed to the new seating but from there back it is the old seating. This week have been on VH VUV and VH VUK both had this configuration. Is there any plan to change the remainder of the seats?

The reason for this is because when these aircraft were in NZ, the grounding of QF was announced, so DJ brang these aircrfat back to Australia to add extra services to stranded travelers. Of course they will be finished...

Hi Jon,

I flew on VH-VUV in September and the whole aircraft had the new interior not the '3-class layout' cabin.

VUJ has the partial refit as well. Since DJ are only advertising their business class seats on routes, it makes sense to just put the business seats in with the divider and the one row of new economy seating. It's for the sake of getting the fleet refurbished in a timely manner so no aircraft will have extra and unneeded downtime over the busiest period of the year.

Can anyone confirm if the new logo includes white wings? Reminds me of Ansett somewhat as all their aircraft had their wings painted white.
