VISITORS
No newcomers yet today, but due later is Korean Air B772 HL7575 (28445) on its first outing to Gatwick from Seoul. This will be the eighth Korean B772 to visit us to date. The Luxair B737 that had been expected to make its first visit was, unfortunately, changed to an aircraft that had already visited three times in the past.

FLEET NEWS
Malev B737 HA-LOI (29350), now registered EI-EUW, was noted at Dublin yesterday in full Transaero scheme awaiting delivery.
Meridiana Fly. Though by no means a first visit, the appearance of a Meridiana MD80 today is a rare event nowadays & this particular aircraft last visited us in September 2006. The carrier is gradually retiring its MD80s & all the leased Irish registered examples have already gone. With thanks to ATDB I have listed the current whereabouts of the 17 aircraft operated by the carrier:
EI-CIW MD83 (49785) to YA-KMD & current with Kam Air
EI-CKM MD83 949792) to N597SC & stored at Marana, AZ for AerCap
