QantasLink (Alliance Airlines) Embraer E-190 Regional Jet VH-UYB Makes First Visit to CQ Since Re-Painting Calling into Hamilton Island Airport - Plus More!

On Wednesday 6 November, Embraer ERJ-190AR (ERJ-190-100 IGW) VH-UYB made its first visit back into Central Queensland following its re-painting into QantasLink colours while in maintenance at Singapore (Seletar).  It completed the QFA1898/9 service into Hamilton Island Airport from and back to Brisbane.

VH-UYB parked up at Adelaide Airport after arriving back in Australia from Singapore.

Until recently, VH-UYB wore a very attractive livery paying tribute to the Royal Australian Air Force's 100 years of service to Australia.
