Virgin Blue’s first Airbus A330-200, VH-XFA, had decals applied to it at Sydney Airport today which appear to hint at the airline’s new livery.
Photos show the aircraft featuring a new version of the Virgin ‘flying lady’ on the aircraft’s nose, plus a red band around the engine cowling. No further markings, such as titles or logos, and certainly no evidence of the airline’s much anticipated new name, have as yet been applied to the ex Emirates aircraft.
The decals were applied this morning in the open at Sydney Airport’s Bay 94.

The airline is due to place its first two leased A330-200s into transcontinental domestic service next month.
