Radzi 2 Report post Posted July 4, 2005 That aircraft, AEB, is not yet seen in Malaysia although the picture is dated May 5th, that is almost 2 months ago. Then again, it was like 3 months between first sighting of AAX to the time it was first seen in Malaysia. My guess is that it is undergoing maintenance and/or painting in CAN. Then again it was Baiyun, the old airport which is becoming like our SZB in term of a/c maintenance. And my wild guess is, the sister ship behind is AEB. Any sighting of these a/c when operational is much welcome. BTW, here is the link to the picture. Give that guy some hit laaa..... http://www.airliners.net/open.file/871040/L/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gavin Andrew David 6 Report post Posted July 4, 2005 they're still bringing in 733's even though they're planning to acquire the Airbuses . They're planning to use both or get rid of the 733's when the busses arrive ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mushrif A 3 Report post Posted July 4, 2005 the airbusses dont come until later. i believe these 737 are lease and will be out of the fleet when the lease expire. or am i wrong? someone? 766[/snapback] Things will not happen overnight and TF does not have a magic wand. Airbuses coming this November or thereabouts. But AK will not receive 60 320s overnight - hence, there will be some transition years where it will operate a dual-fleet type, and the number crunching plus price for the buses should justify this. 733s will gradually go.
