A fourth former JetBlue Airways Embraer 190 has arrived at Ireland West Airport, as reported by German aviation website Skyliner Aviation. The aircraft, N231JB (msn 19000033), completed a ferry flight from Macon (MCN) via Goose Bay (YYR) to Ireland West Airport (NOC) on 2-3 April, 2025.
The aircraft arrived in basic JetBlue livery, devoid of logos and titles, joins three of its former sisterships , already present at the airport: N206JB (msn 19000025), N216JB (msn 19000026) re-registered LY-BQJ and N229JB (msn 19000032) re-registered as LY-BQK.
Interestingly, information from the Planespotters website indicates that N231JB was initially earmarked for Australian carrier Alliance Airlines but was ultimately not taken up by the airline. Further details from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) registry reveal that the aircraft is currently registered to TVPX Aircraft Solutions Trustee Inc, listed as to Lithuania for export.
