Iraqi President in Canberra

Peter Agatsiotis · #1 11th March 2009, 09:07 PM

President Maliki of Iraq arrived in Canberra tonight. Will be visiting Sydney later in the week.

Any idea what equipment is being used? Not clear on the short newsclip I saw on SBS.

I believe he uses A300B4 YI-APX, a gift to Iraq from Iran (ex Mahan Air).

Thanks Steve; hopefully will see whatever it is in Sydney.

Can anybody confirm what he turned up in?

It is definately Airbus A300 YI-APX. From media reports it should be coming to Sydney tomorrow and departing Sunday.
