Any truth in the story that, as EK are the biggest A380 customer and that the a/c will be going to the Dubai Air Show as part of this jaunt, that it will be painted up in EK colours?
If so, might seem a tad curious to have an a/c painted up in a competitor's colours, show up as a main attraction at your birthday bash... are EK paying QF anything for the advertising space?!
Or will it get a quick 2-pack respray somewhere between DXB and Brisvegas?
