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.

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

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!!!

It certainly is embarrassing hearing comments from passengers as they board some of our Dash 8 's in Sydney. A number of 300's and 400's are in dying need of a repaint. VH-TQX the last 200 in old livery could do with a coat as well.

SBW does to AKL via NLK on 31/03, subject to weather.

One of the JQ Q300's will come back over on 04/04

Any word on when the next batch of 737-800's will be repainted as most of the VH-VY's are still in the old livery?
