Jetstar Airways Airbus A320 VH-VQK in Launceston Tasmania Colour Scheme Spotted at Mackay Airport

Making a stunning debut into Central Queensland on Friday 15 March was Jetstar Airways Airbus A320 VH-VQK which emerged from the hangar earlier this week adorned in stickers promoting Launceston in Tasmania as a tourist destination.

VH-VQK is pictured at Mackay Airport operating the scheduled JST886/887 service from and back to Brisbane.

Of interest, VH-VQK emerged from the maintenance hangar at Brisbane and was officially unveiled at Launceston Airport on its first day of operation on Wednesday 13 March.

Four of Tasmania’s most iconic destinations have been applied to both sides of the A320 that will fly throughout Australia and overseas for the next four-and-a-half months.  Cradle Mountain, Wineglass Bay, Cataract Gorge and the Bay of Fires are featured on the livery of VH-VQK.

The scenic images, which will be featured on the plane until the end of July, have also been emblazoned on tray tables and overhead lockers.  The promotion is designed to encourage visitors to fly into Tasmania via the North.

Nice!
