Special Coloured Virgin Blue Aircraft Visit CQ Airports

Virgin Blue / Pacific Blue are in the process of re-branding and are subsequently re-painting some of the (Australian registered) aircraft operated by Pacific Blue. These aircraft have also been known to operate on the Virgin Blue mainline services between Australian destinations.

Over the last week, Boeing B737-800s VH-VUF and VH-VUN, which now wear "Airlines of Virgin Blue" titles (as shown below in this picture of VH-VUM by Lloyd Fox at Brisbane), have been noted at Mackay and Proserpine Airports.


Also on Monday 7 March and Tuesday 8 March, Virgin Blue's latest Embraer E-190 jet, VH-ZPQ has visited Mackay and Rockhampton Airports from Sydney. This aircraft is brand new and has been repainted in a special livery promoting Virgin Blue's association with the AFL. The livery is similar to that worn by Boeing B737-800 VH-VUY, which is pictured below at Brisbane (photo courtesy of Lloyd Fox).
