Don't they mask the airline logos and paint the registeration?

Both the A340 that Airblue operated were in good condition. One would think that a carrier would utilise them?

^ Apparently four-engined Airbus A340 is finding difficulty in attracting operators in the presence of twin-engined sister Airbus A330 and rival Boeing 777.

Airblue doesn't own them anyway, they just leased them for short period
