How can it be that this frame is in the delivery process without being fully painted? Has this happened before? It may happen for various reasons. I'll add up one possible explaination to all those posted above : some customers prefer to have the painting done in their own paintshop (wasn't it Air Caraïbes' or French Bee's choice for one of their early frames ? I'm sure Fabien remembers ), or to defer the painting for some internal reason. All that's required is an agreement with Airbus.

I seem to recall that one of the Sichuan Panda liveries was applied after the frame left TLS. Geoff

Guys from HNA (Tianjin or Hainan) or from a Leasing Company?

MSN 98 and MSN 112 were painted in Capital Airlines livery at TLS, but repainted into Hainan livery at Haikou after delivery. So if MSN 308 is indeed going to Hainan, I see a possibility of it being painted at Haikou again.

Showing online at flightline this morning, so maybe not been delivered? www.flightradar24.com/FWZFU/211f113fWe will see, probably by the end of this week with the publishing of Airbus O&D spreadsheet.

On these frame delivery seems to have little to do with where they are stored or if they had a delivery flight. The only point is, does money has changed hands and that is difficult to discern for most of us. I am waiting for the O&D.
