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.....

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 ?

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? :)

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.

 

See Easyjet.

Photographer got that wrong apparently...734 has two overwing hatches, and this has only one o/w hatch, hence, it's 737-300.
