That's because the Skymark A380s cannot be delivered to a lessor or customer. Then the only option is putting protective coating on it.
You cannot deliver an airplane with protective coating to a customer. Hence they need to be painted white if they go to the lessor.

Protective coating is used when a frame has to sit outside for a long time before delivery. The ex-Skymark A330s were quickly delivered to the lessor and then reassigned to another airline, some of them even keeping the Skymark tail paint scheme. |

Discussion was about the Skymark A380s, not the Skymark A330s  |

What would be Qantas ULR routes?...... Flights from Australia to the central and eastern part of the US as well as direct flights to Europe. Direct flights to JFK and LHR would be of interest to them although SYD/MEL-LHR/JFK would be longer than SQ's SIN-New York flights. |

what is the actual impact of MSN 63 to the FAL? I'm thinking that statoin is now on a lng term hold until the issues with the fuselage get fixed?

Direct flights to JFK and LHR would be of interest to them although SYD/MEL-LHR/JFK would be longer than SQ's SIN-New York flights. Don't forget Europe! Munich/Frankfurt etc. to Australia would surely be possible and well supported. What interests me is whether Emirates would 'allow' Qantas to do this and take away some of their hub traffic. I'd always go on a single flight if I could, even that distance, since most times once you're up, you're also down safely without delay. |

Whoops, how could I forget Europe!!! Although I'm not sure whether there is sufficient O&D demand between one city in Europe and one city in Australia to fill a flight other than to LHR. In other A350 news, 2 A350s due to be delivered to Azul will instead be taken by the HNA group with Azul now only taking 3 aircraft. Widebody operating airlines in the HNA group include Beijing Capital airlines, Hainan Airlines, Hong Kong Airlines, Tianjin Airlines, and Virgin Australia. Hong Kong airlines has an existing order for 15 A359s and Tianjin Airlines has alluded to being a future operator of the A350. www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-06-03/azul-ceo-mulls-new-fleet-cuts-in-sick-brazil-airline-industry |
