Changing the Game

Virgin Blue have announced some of the changes in their Changing the Game program.  They have announced their new uniform and also in their Half Year profits announcement informed of the upcoming fleet changes.

The new regional aircraft operated by Skywest in Virgin Blue colours will be ATR 500/600 aircraft with 4 expected to be delivered this year.  They will replace the Embraer E170 aircraft which are for sale and will also open up other regional markets.

The first two of the 4 A330s will arrive in the country this year, as well as deliveries of 3 E190s & 5 738s.  The 738s will begin to receive a Business Class cabin later this year.

The new uniforms are amazing.  Very modern and contemporary, a nice red and royal purple colour, and look good on first impression, unlike some other operators in the region when they have announced new uniforms.
