Brand new 737-8 straight out of the factory and based in N.Z

Smells like a new car

Bigger view: here

Very cool! Glad to see Pac Blue doing well !

*Revolting* paint job though

Looks like something out of the "Polly Pocket" range. Are they trying to appeal specifically to the 7-yr old girl market? Well - I suppose they usually do have more disposable income than us poor parents

Yeah but the point is to catch the eye,Lots of cheaper airlines need as much advertiseing as possible.
Same goes for any airline though.

Yer the red of the Pacific Blue livery is quite eyecatching in real life, in that picture not so much as it looks flatter, less vibrant and even a bit dull.
And the billboard titles are quite effective too. I quite like Pacific Blue's livery myself.
It is good to see Pacific Blue taking delivery of new aircraft, which will coincide with the reports there are 7 new destinations supposedly being launched soon
(See here - not necessarily NZ destinations though, might be Virgin Blue group destinations)
Perhaps not for PBK in particular though.

I don't mind it, I think it is pretty good for a low cost airline. I think the red looks a bit dull in the airliners.net picture?
Is Pacific blue getting any other 738's any time soon? No doubt this aircraft will be supporting there new Australian flights.
I hope they come to Rotorua (although it isn't practical for any NZ routes as yet). I think they will be in next year for some aussi flights

And also have to mention on 11th of September (or around then) theyr getting another brand new 738 (ZK-PBL)

Yea, not sure if the picture is a bit washed out, but looks almost like a pink colour there...

Looking good, and another on the way, are these going to be used for the trans-tasman routes? (SYD/MEL)

The capacity increase across the tasman is going to be insane, especially with Emirates bringing in an A380 to Auckland next year.
