In May 2021 Alliance Airlines gave me the fantastic opportunity to tour their YBBN hangar. Exploring the hanger at Brisbane gave me many opportunity's such as understanding a charter, fifo and rpt airlines operations. It also gave me an insight into the majestic new Embraer 190s.
In August 2020 QQ announced the expansion of their Fokker only fleet welcoming 14 E190s from Arizona aviation previously owned by Copa Airlines (the flagship carrier of Panama). Later that year QQ announced 16 more E-190s would be purchased from Jetran bringing their new total to 30 Brazilian built aircraft. In 2021 it was announced QQ would be leasing some of the aircraft to QANTAS under a wet-lease.
The Fantastic livery alliance has slapped on the side of their new Embraers
When the first photos emerged of the Alliance airlines Embraers, fans seemed to get a big surprise with the slap of paint on the side of their new investments. Diffrent to the little text above the windows of the fokkers as seen above alliance is posted along the first half of the body of the plane.
