I wonder if this also means that TL (Air North) will be able to get more help from QQ to support their E170 operations. They currently get them serviced in the Philippines which appears to have been a logistical nightmare post covid.

Recently, when a TL E170 needs a service, they fly two jets up to the Philippines they drop off one jet and then the crew of the 2nd flies the pilots of the dropped of jet back to Darwin to avoid quarantine.

The first QantasLink (Alliance Airlines) E190 in QFLink livery had just rolled out freshly painted of the factory prior to their delivery run to Alliance in BNE.

Note: Photographer labelled the aircraft as QantasLink (Eastern Australia Airlines) - although Eastern is not the operator.

If it’s only had the tart up on the outside you may be disappointed...

Just flew CNS-ADL on one of the Alliance liveried E190s (QF flight) and it looked and felt as ‘worn in’ as its 14 years of previous service with Copa Airlines would suggest.

Addendum:
I’m on the same aircraft now ADL-HBA and the whY cabin seats actually look and feel newer than the J seat from yesterday.

Row 11 is the extra legroom overwing exit. Row 10 has no recline into that space.

The J seats were fine but on the trips we have done the cabins are definitely showing some wear and tear. On the last flight apparently some Y passengers mentioned that the tray tables on several seats were faulty/broken.
Still quite a comfortable ride I found but I’ve yet to experience Y in one (and hope I never have to)

I have 2 flights coming up, looking forward to them.
