The cabin crew are in QF uniforms and the aircraft have a small “Operated on behalf of QantasLink” sticker by the forward door.

QQ also seem to have stopped using the E190’s to cover for Air North for the moment.

An additional four announced yesterday.

Additional E190s for QantasLink
The national carrier today announced an expansion of its three-year deal with Alliance Airlines, which provides QantasLink with capacity using Alliance’s Embraer E190 regional jet aircraft and the flexibility to respond to changing market conditions.
The expanded agreement will see the airline increase its options under this deal from 14 jet aircraft to a total of 18. Of this, three are already flying with another five to enter service by October. The E190s will be painted in QantasLink livery and are part of Qantas growing its domestic capacity to at least 107 per cent of pre-COVID levels in FY22.
The first of the 94-seat E190 jets started flying on the QantasLink network last month. The jet’s five-hour range makes it well suited to linking regional centres with smaller capital cities. The introduction of E190s also frees up Qantas’ Boeing 737 aircraft to be redeployed across the domestic network, enabling the airline to launch a number of new routes and add frequencies on existing ones.
Canberra-Adelaide is the latest route to benefit from additional flights made possible by the E190, with frequencies to double from nine per week to 18 per week from mid-July.

I understand that the QQ E.190's covered for the E.170 VH ANO whilst it was in maintenance in Clark in the Philippines from 15 April to 3 June. All 4 E.170's are in service.

I have just checked all 9 E.190's in SJO, the last 1 in PTY and 13 in ROW, no new movements.
