KC Sim 2 Report post Posted September 12, 2008 PK-AXA left Hamburg-Finkenwerder Airport in the afternoon of 9 September 2008 on a ferry flight to Toulouse. It was still wearing its test registration F-WWIG. Attached herewith is a hastily-processed image of it departing for the ferry flight, and from a local spotter, the test registration will be removed on arrival in Toulouse and the aircraft will undergo final preparations for handover to Indonesia AirAsia and of course it delivery flight.

Because sometime (less than a year I guess) I saw nice AK pictures at ramp during night time at LCCT on a.net.. if i get what you mean correctly, the one/gang who take the night ramp pictures got permission by someone, so they can take picture on ramp and at night some more. try look further back of Observation Hill sub-forum or under the spotting achieve sub-sub-forum? btw, you are not allowed to take any picture when you on ramp, ordered by MAB/MAHB (dunno which one...); of course, once in a blue moon you will able to take one or two shots. (IMHO, before take picture check right and left, see whether got any ground crew/security personnel nearby you or not; second, DON'T stop walking when taking picture, AT LEAST walk slowly, don't block others way will be better. ) you will be our second Kenneth T bro, never on RED AK before.

Naim 6 Report post Posted September 18, 2008 September 18, 2008 14:17 PM AirAsia Takes Delivery Of Its 50th A320 Aircraft KUALA LUMPUR, Sep 18 (Bernama) -- AirAsia has received its 50th new A320 aircraft from Airbus and it will be operated out of Jakarta by AirAsia Indonesia as part of the growing route network. In a statement, Airbus said the A320s are steadily replacing AirAsia's Boeing 737 fleet across its network, currently covering Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand. It said for AirAsia's Indonesian operation, the aircraft would initially be operated on the Jakarta to Batam, Padang, Balikpapan and Denpasar routes. Altogether, AirAsia has placed orders for 175 aircraft for use by airlines within the group, making it one of the largest customers in the world for Airbus' best selling single aisle product line. "We are also delighted to see this partnership between our two companies expand with the addition of a new A320 base in Jakarta," said Airbus chief operating officer, John Leahy. -- BERNAMA http://bernama.com/bernama/v3/news_lite.php?id=359878 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
