VB will probably only be allowed to use PB painted aircraft only on bali runs and
VB painted planes with special permission. I say this because the annoucement states that PB is flying to Bali, not
VB. I assume then that the flying rights obtained from Indon government are for PB not
VB. If they want to use
VB painted planes then special permission will be needed each time from Indon government. This is a hassle I think
VB would prefer to minimise. Just ask Valuair and Jetstar. Because Jetstar is not allowed to fly from SIN to Jakarta, they still use Valuair painted aircraft. This means those aircraft are pretty much restricted to these routes only. If for maintenance or other reasons the Valuair painted planes cannot do the run to Jakarta, Jetstar need to get special permission to take a Jetstar plane. Quite a hassle when dealing with Indonesian bureacracy.
