Ok this is a rare moment for us. Delsey Airlines of Belgium went bankrupt and all their A330-200s were flown to Montreal and stayed at Air Canada's Maintenance Base for several weeks in September 2003. This one held the temporary Irish airline registry EI-CZT. Eventually they were sold or leased to Malaysia Airlines. So luckily for us way over here in Quebec we got to see Malaysia Airlines A330-200s before any of the spotters in Kuala Lumpur :) Beautiful fresh new colours to brighten up a Canadian winter!.. never or at least unlikely to ever return to this city.

 

Just thought of sharing this, I really love this awesome pic!

No, thats not another A332 for MH I am afraid. This particular plane was either 9M-MKT, MKV, MKW or MKX before her delivery to MASin early 2004. The black A332 next to her was later painted into MAS livery and became MKT, MKV, MKW or MKX.

 

The shot was taken in Canada by the way.

Sorry Gavin, she's not 9M-MKT. I remember that 9M-MKT has distinctive cockpit windows. 9M-MKT was ex-HB-IQF (Swiss A332). Here ya go, both cn.262

9M-MKT = ex. HB-IQF for Swiss Intl.

9M-MKU = ex. HB-IQE for Swiss Intl.

9M-MKW = ex. OO-SFS for VG Airlines

9M-MKV = ex. OO-SFR for Delsey Airlines

9M-MKX = ex. OO-SFQ for VG Airlines

So the photo shown is 9M-MKV. I have been on this bird twice. Once on the KUL-HKG leg (my only legitimate business class experience using 20,000 enrich miles) and once on KUL-SGN.

 

I like the A332. It is so nice to fly in. :good:
