Is this the first time that the predominant colour of an Aer Lingus livery hasn't been green (not counting white as a colour)?

Looks like an aircraft they have leased short term and stuck some transfers on.

I am not sure if it is the 1st time seen at BHX with the new livery. But I also got Austrian Airlines A320 as well today.

58 terminus that is exactly what IAG has planned . The have the opportunity to move resources round the group very quickly and cheaply by simply changing the wrap over the tail and fuselage transfers from one brand to another .

Even to BA though the blue under side adds a few dollars and days to that transfer at the moment.

Very minimalist and to the point I like it.

Two things happened on the 09/02/2019. One of them was a late take off of a Blue Air 737, circled in blue the point of lift off & Thomas Cook A320 accidently taxied onto Twy F & was sent around Elmdon apron with a follow me car, route in yellow. Blue Air

How on earth did the pilot take the wrong turning as there is a big passenger terminal building on the correct side ?

The landing gear on the Blue Air 737 seems to have retracted very quickly after it left the ground.

It would be interesting to hear what instructions were given to pilots by ground control given mmodern technology would prevent such errors!

Excellent capture of the Voyagers, I personally refer the A330 as such for simplicity even if incorrectly.
