Tigerair B737 back to VA

[Bagpuss]

VH-VOR has been repainted all white .. From The Source
Seems it is now flying for Virgin according to Flightradar32

Seems a bit strange as I guess it has a Tiger fit out.

It maybe that Tiger has a surplus due to Bali, but a bit weird.

Your link is wrong. The correct link is ... The VA Source - Virgin Australia News & Information

For a 2004 aircraft this thing has been painted regularly
Virgin Blue
Polynesian Blue
Virgin Samoa
Virgin Australia
TigerAir
White body

Meanwhile many 2005 Qantas 747s still carry the Old Old Roo

Out of Curiosity, what's a paint job worth? 250-500k?

Great to see the Virgin Group giving it's repaints to a Aussie small business. QF and co go to Singapore for the majority of works...

QFs 332/333s have been painted in Singapore and the US.
At least some of the 737s have been repainted in Australia. Certainly RetroRoo2 was.

You need quite specialised facilities for the larger aircraft

Flew VH-VOR yesterday (I normally have a quick glance at the plane as I get off in the terminal and saw the all white paintjob). Apart from the seats in Row 3, these had an older seat with a lower headrest (Are these the original VA Samoa seats or Tiger Seats?), not as supportive as the newer tall VA BSI Seats. I could be wrong but I guess Virgin put back its J seats, screen and Row 3 seats before it went back to VA.

I sat in Row 6 and I have a feeling this plane isn't hasn't done the Economy X Reconfig yet. Row 5's legroom looked exactly the same as mine and the overhead lockers didn't have the Economy X stickers
