Jetstar NZ Q300's

[samh004]

Didn't see photos posted elsewhere, and have recently come across a few of the re-painted Q300's. Have to say, they don't look bad at all. Hope this doesn't transpire in Australia (unless of course they forget about Plus bundles like they seem to have for this regional JQ service.

They look ok and can't be far away from action.

The two regos I can see are both VH, not ZK?

Possibly because they will be operated by Eastern Australia Airlines for Jetstar.

Also I heard that the routes will be announced tomorrow.

That would explain it.

Perhaps they'll also change to ZK when they get to NZ?

Why there is no need to change the rego, current JQ A320 operating from/in NZ are all VH registered birds.
I believe there will be an exemption for these birds so they can operate with one FA.
Routes have officially been announced, from AKL Nelson, New Plymouth, Palmerston North and Napier. WLG will also have Nelson flights.

I was not aware of this.

Virgin has just moved all its ZK registered 738's across to VH registered also.

Makes everything alot easier, as they can rotate the aircraft around Australia, use in Asia etc….

I saw one of these Q300s in TSV last weekend. I think it was TQM from memory. Didn't manage to get a great photo though:
