That’s a really smart looking new livery. Apologies if this has been covered before, but can anyone tell me why new planes coming out of Airbus’s plants have to carry “local” registrations and for how long before they hand them to the purchaser ?

Why don’t they just put the real reg on straight away ? Do they use the same reg’s on a lot of planes or is every new one given it’s own temporary reg ?

Cheers 😀
