No way you will see that in YSSY, its a A330-300, China Eastern use the A330-200 on its flights into YSSY.

Please refrain from quoting the entire above post as it is not necessary - mod.

Gerad,

When i was in Sydney a week and half ago all the China Eastern flights were operated by A330-300's.

B-6085 I saw twice and B-6132 was on the other flight. Also Looking at previous Acars reports there have been a few flights that have been operated by A333's. Also also looking Acars logs B-6127 has been to Sydney on a number of occasions before.

So thry aren't a common site in Sydney.

Wait until x-mas and china's new year you will see them again like last year and every other year when the airline up grades to larger a/c.

You will see there A343, A346, A333 four sure in both YMML, YSSY.

Stefan you will see a mix of 333-332 but mainly 332 and B-6132 is operated by Air China.

Phil,

Sorry it was supposed to be B-6119 not B-6132, I didn't specify which airlines they were in my log.

[Peter Agatsiotis]

Today's service was operated by B-6125 (343X) which, according to my log, imay be its first visit. (Should have kept an eye out for it!!)

Sorry to bring this post back to life but China Eatsern have painted another A333 in a 2010 World Expo paint sheme. Another one to look out for in SYD.
