Evening all,

Air Asia X has taken delivery of A330-300 9M-XXK. Sydney, Melbourne, Coolangatta & Perth should see it soon.

[Stefan Perkas]

Evening all

9M-XXK did not take long to enter service, it operated D7212/213 to Melbourne tonight.

Also...

Garuda Indonesia A330-300 PK-GPA according to Skyliners is reported to have 'Liverpool Football Club' Billboard titles applied to it. It should visit Melbourne in the coming weeks to drop off the Liverpool players etc. for their exhibition match against Melbourne Victory. IU am not sure if it will enter revenue service with these titles on them. Sydney spotters just keep an eye out for it.
