“new” QF B737-800s

Keep the SQ Cabin found it quite good.

These aircraft will be based up in BNE and will be mostly doing QLD internal flights and not really scheduled to be going anywhere else. This is until the cabin refurbishment starts

Makes sense.
Assume the seats will be renumbered from SQs somewhat odd format J (rows 11-13) and Y (rows 41-65)

VH-XZQ (Albino Roo) has just landed in BNE.

Wonder where and when it picked up the fresh white paint job. Surely efficiency would have it just being repainted once.

Might relate to the timing of the end of the SQ lease and purchase / lease by QF. If it was technically still owned by the lessor QF may not have wanted it in their livery yet, similar to how QF remove their titles / roo when they send some aircraft over to the US for scrapping.

 

[moa999]

Possibly. Think both MGK and MGL (still there) spent some time in KUL awaiting a new home, so maybe repainted before being given to lessor.

Wonder if this will head to Flying Colours at TSV shortly?
