Alliance receives its latest F28

Sometimes you can be lucky and sometimes you cant. Alliance Airlines was taking delivery of another new aircraft today and was due to come in at 4pm local. I got out to the airport at 3.10pm only to find out from the large group of spotters that it landed a few minutes earlier. Since I was there I decided to stay for a while as a delayed Philippine A321 was coming in.
I knew where the Fokker was parked but was told it was hiding behind the Emirates A380, but I thought I will go down and have a look anyway. My luck turned real quick because just as I got there a tug was towing the plane over to the Alliance hanger and it taxied right past me..

Helvetic Airways is a low cost airline from Switzerland and has its headquarters in Kloten, its fleet is stationed at Zurich Airport. Helvetic operates flights to destinations in Europe and Northern Africa, mainly leisure markets, on its own behalf as well as scheduled flights on behalf of Swiss International Air Lines and Lufthansa using a fleet of Embraer 190s and Embraer E-2. Helvetic Airways was established in the autumn of 2003 as a rebranding and extension of the existing airline Odette Airways to serve destinations in South-Eastern Europe. Switzerland's first budget carrier began operating in November with a Fokker 100 flying to 3 destinations. By 2004, the fleet had grown to 7 aircraft. In December 2006, the carrier unveiled a new look for its aircraft. Since that time, all the Fokker 100s have livery in red-white-silver grey colours with the Swiss cross on the tailfin.
