Quoting seahawks7757 (Thread starter): I have to say, the scheme in my opinion does not fit this small plane-
The titles are an awkward size. They should either shrink it to fit above the window line or go with larger billboard titles. And slide the blue back towards the actual leading edge of the tail. There's too much of it and it makes the plane look too stubby.
Why do Aerospace Engineering students have to turn things in on time?
What do you mean what Sun Country is doing? Currently, all of their planes have US regs.
The only planes SY has flown with foreign regs are the peak season leases from carriers like Transavia. Their entire full time fleet are all N registered in the US.
What happened to the tail? The yellow and red need to be reversed, and the sunrays are anything but symetrical. Too much blue on the @$$-end, it should be brought back so the diagonal slices through the door. I understand the need to fit the titles between the door and the emergency exit, but they need to scale back the blue on the rear of the plane. In this case, white engines would balance the look much better than the blue...

I think the poster meant that in the picture it appears that the nose cone is missing, which is the first thing I noticed as well.
Next Flights: AS PDX-SAN-LIH on 739/738 in F, HA LIH-HNL-KOA-OGG on 717 in Y, AS OGG-PDX on 738 in F
My bad, staying out of it, just trying to make sense of why no body else even mentioned the nosecone as it was so glaring, in the original lined picture.

There was a thread about easyjet USA being rumoured with allegiant being the host airline.
Is there any evidence to support this or was there purchase of these a/c just the basis ?

Silly question, but I have seen Allegiant use they stairs built into the plane at RAP. Will they have to plan their cities based on this capability for the Airbuses? Or is the cost of using ground stairs at airports negligible? I'm sure it doesn't outweigh the fuel savings, but I just never thought about the stairs until now. It was a nice feature to fly around with for an airline that flies to hole in the wall airports and rarely uses jetways.

Quoting A388 (Reply 21): I wasn't aware Allegiant was going for Airbus aircraft, will their entire MD80 fleet be replaced by A319's? Will they also be flying from MIA?
It was revealed several months back when they were hiring for an Airbus fleet director. Then they announced they would start buying A319s. Right now they will maintain the MD80 fleet and most of these will be growth aircraft.
MIA on G4? Doubt it.
Any opinion/comment posted is that of my own and not that of Southwest Airlines Co.
25 cschleic: Does look a bit odd on a plane that looks shorter and pudgier compared to an MD-83. And the two sets of overwing exits on a 319....small seat pitch in
26 A388: Allegiant did have charter flights out of Miami, which is why I asked the question. A388
27 ouboy79: Which are handled by someone other than G4, who is just supplying the aircraft. They tend to have 2 aircraft in OKC all the time, due to their mx bei
28 seahawks7757: I meant the registration that is on it now. Looks temporary and it might be coming ou the US registration.
29 A388: I see, thanks. So this means that they can still send the A319 to MIA to fly for someone else(?) A388
30 ouboy79: That's the whole premise behind chartering an aircraft. I could call G4 and ask to charter one of their planes and have it go to SEA. Doesn't mean th
31 A388: Yes, I know that but I was under the impression that Allegiant themselves flew to/from MIA. A388
32 F9animal: They have to do something about the titles! Perhaps like Frontier does. Put the name of the company in big letters, as it is free advertising! And I
33 goosebayguy: Jet2 seem to have copied Allegiants colour scheme since they leased two B757's. Maybe they're hoping for a take over by Allegiant?
34 FATFlyer: My guess is they will put on N-numbers when they take possession. Allegiant (under its own name and as Sunrise Asset Management LLC) has reserved a l
35 starrymarkb: Depends - EZY config is 156 all economy (the maximum) but nothing to stop the new owners reconfiguring...
36 Larshjort: Or perhaps they are leasing 2 757s from Allegiant. Air Finland have done the same in the past. /Lars
37 jporterfi: The paint scheme looks a lot better on an MD-80 in my opinion. I'm not saying that they should create a new livery for the A319s, just maybe tweak it
38 GCT64: HB-JZK is its Easyjet Swiss registration which it has carried since June 2005 (before that it was G-EZEX with Easyjet). Allegiant are, apparently, go
39 iFlyLOTs: Jet2's 737s have a very similar livery to that of Allegiant. On the A319 I do however agree that the tail section doesn't look right, the front howev
40 GSPSPOT: Knowing the Arbii are coming online, can we DARE hope of LAS service coming/returning to some East Coast stations? BTW - the paint scheme looks just f
41 GT4EZY: I think it looks quite nice on the 319.
42 treebeard787: I wouldn't be at all surprised to see the A319s used on longer routes that the MD-80 either doesn't have the range for or can't fly profitably. The f
43 GT4EZY: Being ex EZY, I don't think it has that much range itself.
44 tzadik: slightly off topic... when did airbus start putting two emergency exits over the wing on the A319?
45 srbmod: Official: Allegiant Buying Airbus A319s (by mrskyguy Jul 29 2012 in Civil Aviation) They just retained the G4 livery instead of painting it into the J
46 scbriml: I think it looks pretty good, although, I do agree that the titles look a little clumsy. Are they leaving the yellow/orange reversed compared to the M
47 GSPSPOT: I have to admit I always get just a little bit excited whenever I see one on approach over my house!
48 GT4EZY: Initially maybe but they have also repainted some existing/new aircraft into the G4 livery as well.
49 Polot: A319´s With 4 Emergency Exits Over Wings? (by oksman Oct 25 2012 in Tech Ops)
50 FWAERJ: They started reversing the yellow and orange with the revised late 2010 "Travel Is Our Deal" livery, along with shortening the web URL on the livery
51 mark8762: The first one will be registered N301NV and is scheduled to be delivered in Feb. Maintenance techs, first capt and FO are being trained at HQ and in O
