A third former JetBlue Airways Embraer 190 has arrived at Ireland West Airport, as reported by German aviation website Skyliner Aviation. The aircraft, N229JB (msn 19000032), completed a ferry flight from Macon (MCN) via Goose Bay (YYR) to Ireland West Airport (NOC) on February 26-27, 2025.
The aircraft arrived in basic JetBlue livery, devoid of logos and titles, and now joins two sister aircraft, N206JB (msn 19000025) and N216JB (msn 19000026).
According to the FAA registry, N229JB is registered to TVPX Aircraft Solutions Trustee Inc., for export to Lithuania. However, reports from the Planespotters website indicate that the aircraft was initially allocated to Australian carrier Alliance Airlines, though not taken up.
