Virgin Blue's new livery
Does anyone know why VH-VOI has a new paint scheme? I saw it today at the Tulla maintainance facility. All black with green stripes on the underside of the tail, with a big Gillette razor and insignia on the sides and front. Maybe a few bucks for some high flying advertising?
Probably answered your own question. Can anyone explain why Virgin Blue are flying aircraft painted in Pacific Blue colours? Surely there is greater potential for confusion especially where the interchange phrase isn't used!!

Its all advertising and I'm sure if Gillette are happy other sponsors may follow there lead.
The question must be asked though, what happens if that aircraft goes U/S or is involved in an incident, will that affect the publics perception of that product?

Well there's a thought!!
As Ozjet seems to be starting up with a 737-200 old enough to vote, maybe they should paint a 12 foot long tampon on the fin.
Could be fairly accurate.
In for one week - out for three.

I asked the same thing a while ago, I believe it actually has something to do with cost of registering/maintaing them in NZ vs Aus.... or something like that....

I'd be cut if I ended up on that!
Do they hand out anything to prevent a rash?
Does it have a 5 o'clock shadow?
Alright, I'll stop there. So, if the aircraft is "subsidised" by carrying adverts, do the punters get a refund on their tickets? Just like in a taxi that carries advertising, my trip helps the driver to advertise & generate a cost offset, why can't I have a piece of that action?

Buster,
You will be able to get a piece of the action, this will allow them to provide more $9, $19, $29, (insert any other ridiculously low price here) fares!!
The question you have to ask yourself is, Do you want a piece of that action?
On another note is it just me? But from an advertsing view point, the font and to a lesser extent the picture on this aircraft are way too small. If I was paying $1,000,000+ for advertising, I would sure as hell want it visible from the ground when the aircraft is on approach!!
Cheers, HH.

Well Howard, I've had a piece of that action & if I don't get another piece, it won't upset me greatly!
You could apply my gripe to getting an ad in with your rates or whatever. My source of revenue for them (insert whoever) is effectively subsidised by the advertiser. I want in!

So if the aircraft has a near miss (heaven forbid) would the crew be heard saying............"That was a close shave".....................
Sorry someone had to say it. I will go back to my kennel now.

Last year the Herald revealed Jetstar was touting its Boeing 717 planes for $1 million apiece to advertisers but to date no deal has been signed......... but we'll only work with a partner that fits with the Jetstar brand."
