Yes Benny, single fare, if you take the train from T4 and change at Chamartin you dont pay the metro surcharge:-)

Good Afternoon,

Can anybody please identify the A330MRTT which arrived yesterday afternoon as AED354 from Toulouse- This was seen clearly from the Marriott Auditorium at Barajas Airport.

MRTT054, the same you saw the day before when arriving to Barajas.

Hi José,

Can you confirm this is correct - We arrived on the afternoon of the 14th on the LH1802 from Munich @ 14:35hrs local time ( We didn’t see this aircraft depart from Barajas ) and this is the aircraft that a arrived into Getafe the same afternoon ?

I’m sure you are right but I just want to confirm.

Regards

Dave Rochester

No, in that case we are talking about different units. This plane took off Barajas about 11:00 on the 14th, flew to Toulouse making some ILS and other tests and flew back, this time to Getafe arriving at 16:00 or so. Allways on the 14th. I will try to find if there is another MRTT in maintenance that has ben out of the hangar in the moment you arrived. Keep connected.

Hi José,

Awesome - I look forward to hearing from you.

OK, lets clear the mess. The one you saw at Barajas was RAAF5 that is almost finishing maintenance works and soon will be replaced by a Saudi one.
Best regards

I seem to be in error with M2, it could actually be the future K4, oops! If anyone got an EC33x number off it....
Yes Benny, single fare, if you take the train from T4 and change at Chamartin you dont pay the metro surcharge:-)

You were right Starman, it is M2 recently arrived.

Hi José / Starman,

Can you please clarify when you get a minute the A330MRTT outside at Barajas if it has an EC- registration and also the c/n if possible - It is much appreciated.
