A few more pictures of an Allegiant 757 (N901NV) in full livery are out. This set includes 5 shots including a couple of pics of the entire aircraft nose to tail, unlike earlier shots that did not include the nose.
I really like the look. I hope FAT is included in the first round of new Hawaii cities as heavily rumored, I can't wait to see one here and use it to the islands.

I have noticed that the 757's modified sunburst is now on the G4 website headings. It's probably part of the "Travel is our deal" identity freshening. Also, I noticed that the "www.allegiantair.com" on the MD-80 fuselage simply says "allegiant.com" on the 757 to reflect G4's new web address.
Any rumors of early 757 routes, or interior shots?

I've noticed a few other changes on the website over the last week or so.
I think they have some other changes in store, I know they have invested money on the IT side in the past year for future functionality they want to add.

No interior shots that I have found yet.
The rumors I'm still hearing of the early island routes remain focused on HNL as the Hawaii airport. The mainland city rumors have not changed, BLI is probably a definite. Then it comes down to a mix of other cities such as FAT, SCK, EUG, etc. But all the talk still seems to be smaller cities getting out/backs.

Note no exit doors over the wing i.e. NW 5500 series 757's.
I am curious where FATFlyer's friend took these photos.

Quoting 727LOVER (Reply 3): Will the 757s be coming to SFB for maintenance?
Unlikely since they are ultimately scheduled to be used from the western cities to Hawaii. Although before Allegiant begins Hawaii it needs to use the aircraft so they might pass thru there once in a while in the next few months before Hawaii starts.

Actually I do not know either of the people I linked to, although I think David at airlinereporter.com (also a blog at the Seattle P-I where I sometimes see his posts) lurks here and has posted a few times. I just want to make sure the sources get acknowledged.

Are you suggesting the NW 5500 series 757s might be a future source for Allegiant's 757 fleet? I wonder how sweet of a deal Allegiant can get for older 757s..probably not as nice as they get for MD80s due to the aftermarket demand for 757s in the cargo sector.

Really like the look of them, look good!
Which European airline are these 757's being purchased from? My guess would be charter airline, Thomson Airways are reducing the number in their fleet, so could be a good guess they are coming from there...
The charter airlines in Europe look after their 752's but they have a lot of hours on them and have had a hard and busy life shuttling tourists around Europe, flying up to 18hrs a day with 6-8 cycles a day not uncommon.

NW 757's didn't/don't have RR engines though, do they?

No suggestions intended, DBO.....just an observation. Anyway, I thought DL sold 10 of the 5500's a few months ago.
I understand the Allegiant birds came from Europe....according to past posts here at A-NET.

This aircraft is N901NV formerly G-BYAD. The previous operator would be Thomson.

I don't think any of the 755s can be ETOPS certified anyway, so if G4 wants to keep consistency in its 757 fleet, that would be a problem, in addition to the PW engines on the NW airplanes.

In the third picture down from the first link, if you look closely, the dark building in the back is a Boeing building. I could not make out the push back tractors sign. Whatever the case is, that 757 looks AWESOME!

I've only lived up here for nearly 20 years~ ten of them just a few miles from Paine. There are trees covering most of the west side of the runway there. But after looking at the pics a little closer-- there is an extra hanger in the photo-- so I now know that the location is not where I first thought~ those guys across 109th St in the hanger next to the Flying Heritage Collection (Aviation Tech Services ?) I'd drive over there real quick, but I no longer live in Everett...
Besides- it sounds like the bird has been spotted at Cecil Field. I miss Florida-- honest!!!

Nice livery facelift. I understand the reversed sunburst colours in the fuselage logo though what a pitty that this logo hasn't got that same smooth colour gradient like on tail fin and winglet...
