Kris Kim 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2011 I don't know where to ask this, but I will ask it here, does anyone know why Jetstar Pacific's newest A320 (VN-A198) doesn't have the Jetstar logo's applied on it? It's just plain silver with the orange painted on the belly, what's going on here? Is it something to do with the branding issues? thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nguyen Vu Loc 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2011 Soorox: U're right about branding issue. After VN Airlines' petition on BL's livery which is exactly Jestar's+a small unconspicuous "jetstar pacific", the VN authority has ordered the airline to change the logo . Besides, BL has to pay for using Jetstar Logo which increases operating expenses. BL is delaying this change on the ground that the company is operating at loss. Repainting means the aircraft will be out of operation for 1-2 weeks. Branding problem is also causing delay of opening VietJet aka Air Asia Vietnam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted August 13, 2011 Kanehoshi, Great to see the Hinds, finally, out in the open I've seen them many, many times in their 'bunkers' but were never able to see them, except for their top-rotors...why were they moved out of there ? Are they being scrapped ?... And.......how about the many UH-1's there ?... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nguyen Vu Loc 0 Report post Posted August 13, 2011 2 US Navy C2A® Greyhound came to SGN to carry a Vietnamese delegation to visit the US aircraft carrier George Washington (CVN-73) sailing off-shore South Vienam 1/ 2/ 3/ 4/ 02 other Vietnamese military aircraft have landed SGN on that morning 5/ Antonov AN-26 reg.268 6/ Helicopter MIL Mi-8 reg.7850 Pieter: They move the MI-24 out to give place to newly refurbished UH-1. I don't think they scrap these ones because these choppers were "mothballed" during the last 2 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
