Thanks to Andrew S for the heads up.

Evening all,

This will be its 1st visit to Sydney.

Is this one in full colours? Or have they gone the cheap again and put 3 tiny logo stickers along the fuselage?

[Stefan Perkas]

Nigel,

This is a brand new machine from Airbus, it is in full livery (same one 9M-XXA to XXK).

[Nigel C]

There's one running around as a white tail...second hand?

[Allen Choi]

It's XXM (ex. B-HWJ DragonAir)

9M-XXO A330-300 Air Asia X hasn't entered service yet, but is also ex Dragonair & is in KUL being readied for entry into service.
