QANTAS has stated in its E190 based in Adelaide media release that, "the aircraft will be painted in QantasLink livery..."
Will this result in the five current E190s now in service with QANTAS being repainted, including UYB in its unique Defence colour scheme, or will future E190 deliveries from Copa or American be painted in QLink livery prior to delivery, or after delivery, and be substituted for the current five? It would seem a waste to paint the current aircraft in the Alliance scheme prior to delivery and then repaint them as QLink only months later. Maybe N916QQ will be the first to be repainted as it was delivered in all white colours.
Any thoughts on this?
Also, the five E190s have entered service with QLink in a 10J/84Y seating configuration according to QANTAS Source.
