First Qantas-painted Airbus A320 lands in Perth

The first Airbus A320 to be painted in Qantas colours has broken cover after arriving in Perth on Saturday.

The former Jetstar-operated A320, VH-VQS, operating under the Jetstar flight number JQ8996, arrived in Perth from Seletar, Singapore on its delivery to Qantas subsidiary Network Aviation shortly before midday. The aircraft is the first of two A320s Network will operate under the QantasLink brand on resource industry fly-in/fly-out charter services in Western Australia.

The introduction into the Network fleet of the 180-seat all-economy class configured Airbuses will in turn allow Qantas to redeploy two Boeing 737-800s elsewhere in its network.

Just looks wrong to have QantasLink on a A320. Just my opinion.
