1st aircraft for Play Airlines painted

The first aircraft for Play Airlines has been painted. The plane is A321neo TF-AEW (8008) and it's being readied at Houston-William P. Hobby (TX) and painted in the airline's distinctive red livery. The Airbus was previously operated by Interjet from Mexico as XA-JIL (2018-2020) and had been stored at Goodyear (AZ) between April 2020 and May 2021.

Play Airlines is set to launch its operations on 24 June and will initially connect Iceland with Alicante, Barcelona, Berlin, Copenhagen, London, Paris and Tenerife. Later, it wants to add flights to Amsterdam and the US. Two more A321neos are planned to join, these are MSNs 7939 (currently stored at Goodyear (AZ) as N7939) and 7945 (currently registered as N7945 and also stored at Goodyear (AZ) ).
