Embraer ERJ-190 (VH-UZD)

Morning Qantaslink flight QF1975 from Canberra arriving onto Rw 23.

Alliance E190s have been operating on ‘lesser’ Qantas routes for some months and a while ago it was reported that the aircraft assigned to Qantas would be repainted into QF livery and we waited.
When the first one was issued to traffic it was new to Australia, never got Alliance livery and was delivered in Qantaslink livery.

There are reportedly three so far in Qlink livery and as far as I’m aware, none are re-liveried from Alliance.

Since the news of some Alliance E190s getting the QF (Qlink) look, Qantas took over Alliance a few months ago throwing another curve ball into the Oz airline scene which could have an effect on Virgin Australia. VA commonly leased Alliance E190s which means now, if that was maintained, it would effectively mean Qantas leasing aircraft to it its main competitor - watch this space.
