Think it was on lease to another airline over the winter - Oman Air i think.

Looks quite nice.

I also saw it arriving at Edinburgh yesterday lunch time (lucky to work under the flight path for EDI - so can spot from my desk).

I think the blue looks better, smarter.
Especially for a Scottish airline!

Actually having seen it again on Thursday morning but this time up-close and personal it's not blue but more a cross between dark olive and turquoise.

GSMScot should know the reason...

Hello All,

The aircraft recently returned from a 1 year lease with Oman Air - as was correctly stated by someone else.

It was painted in the hybrid livery for quickness I presume, before it entered service at the begining of May.

Regards,
