Default Inaugural Indonesia Air AsiaX Bali-Sydney

This morning, Indonesia Air AsiaX became the fifth International LCC Long Haul carrier operating at Sydney, making Sydney Airport the world leader in this
category. Airbus A330-343 PK-XRC operated the first IDX822 service, landing on Runway 16R just after 10am, and then taxiing to Bay 25 to a "Water Cannon"
salute from the airport ARFF. At the Press Conference afterwards, SACL CEO Kerry Mather, welcomed the Airline and CEO Dendy Kurniawan to Sydney. The
return service to Bali, IDX823, departed around midday.

These images cover the arrival and Press Conference
