Aeroflot's first A319 pic.

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 😀

Nice!!! I wonder what Aeroflot will replace their IL-89/96 with probably more B777!

Absolutly Beautiful. The A319 prob me fav aircraft

It is sharp and appealing but it has that same generic western appearance of every other airline in Europe. It’s just not Aeroflot, where is the unconventionality of it? Sad really, but that’s progress for you I guess.

I like. I do have a few questions…

1. Is that a German flag near the tail? If so why?

2. Why is the “hammer and sickel” emblem still used?

1) Surely because the plane still have his “factory” registration (the plane is made in Hamburg)

2) This is an Aeroflot decision to keep the old soviet logo after a poll made with the customers.

Wonderful little aircraft for Aeroflot and the colour scheme is great, too. Beats that awful blue and white scheme.
