I have just got back from manchester airport and while i was there i saw two of Easyjets ex GB Airways A320's and was wondering why the paint on the tails is peeling off if they have only just been painted?

sorry for the bad pictures , they were taken through a car window

Just needs a fresh paintjob. Most airlines are scrimping nowadays. Take a look at this poor US bird.

May have suffered at the unusually inclement summer weather.

Cheap paint job. The company I work for tried it and also learnt the hard way. Basically, a quick sanding on the old paint and then the new paint was applied. You need to talk the old paint back to the primer to get the new to adhere properly. They probably did not have the ground time with the summer flight program looming.
