Easyjet 757:

[Tuckerr]

Something new I've just found - what are your thoughts of them introducing these into the fleet?

[Sir Herbert Gussett]

It's a wet-lease for the rest of summer due to crew shortage, apparently. Not staying there!

[Evanelpus]

Think the c/s looks rather tasty on a 757.

[Malaysian28]

Looks good come from Air Finland.

They’ve also leased G-OJIB, a 757 from Astraeus. Based at LGW and also looking pretty in its new orange colour scheme

Does anyone know what it costs to repaint a B757. Seems a large expense for just one summer?

[easy1]

Believe its costing them £385,000. I thinks that is per aircraft.

[Off Stand]

I don't think that they will have painted the whole aircraft (just look at the dirty fuselage of the Air Finland a/c). When ezy bought GB Airways, the tails weren't painted, but a 'sticker' was used to cover the tail. Not great as it tended to peel off quite easily. I am guessing that is what has been done on these 757's, much cheaper.

[FN-GM]

They have also leased Titan Airways 767 (G-POWD)

Does anyone have any idea what routes this will all run on?

Thanks

[arthur harbrow]

A bit of thread drift, but why have Easy never repainted G-TTIC?

FN-GM:

No they haven't.

They've leased Titan's B757 G-ZAPX which is why it flew to MAN last week for its respray into Easyjet colours.

Off Stand:

I don't think that they will have painted the whole aircraft

Wrong. It is a complete respray.

DW.

[Mr @ Spotty M]

arthur harbrow,My guess is because they plan to off load the aircraft.

[Who 2]

I think you got the decimal point in the wrong place, a decal would be about £17k and the paint would be about £40k

[Off Stand]

DW, if you look at the fuselage of the Air Finland a/c, especially the apu area and at doors 2L and 4L, it is filthy. That doesn't look like it's been repainted to me? G-OJIB AND G-ZAPX might be a different story perhaps?

[dwshimoda]

OS - can't comment on the Finnair or OJIB. I saw one B757 in Easy colours at MAN the other day in Air Livery and that looked immaculate and sparkling.

G-ZAPX arrived last Thursday for a full respray and I think may be leaving tonight back to EGSS.

I'f the hangar doors are open tomorrow when we go past, I'll see what's in there.

[TSR2]

Off Stand - I fully agree. If you compare the dirty marks with those on the aircraft in Air Finlands colours, they are the same. A good fuselage wash at the best.
