Peter Smith 1 Report post Posted January 27, 2007 Yet another type in the VN inventory...While bad in terms of operation costs (although they do have A32S and a single 333 so ok for Xcrew), its a damn good thing for spotters. Their livery is just sensational, I will certainly be looking out for this one when I'm in SGN in May Fantastic pics, Sung! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sung 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2007 You're welcome, guys. Regarding the departure on 29th, I'm not so sure of it. It has been delayed for few times. 29th is the final delay. The 2nd delivery for MKT would be on CNY, around 18th or 19th. MKT would be the 2nd last Airbus coming to szb as the maintenance check will be move to KLIA.
