EI-EWR becomes PK-YVI

Aer Lingus A330-202 EI-EWR, msn 330 has had it's registration changed to PK-YVI in readiness for delivery to it's new operator - Indonesia's Batavia Air. The carrier shich started operations in 2002 operates mostly on domestic routes. Regional international routes covered are Guanzhou in China and Kuching in Malaysia. The operator had planned to start operations to Jeddah on Monday August 10 using two A330-202 aircraft, EI-EWR and the former Volare and Air Madrd, Air Comet aircraft msn 212 which was registered I-VLED, EC-IYN and EC-KIM. With 'EWR still sitting in Shannon minus one engine this date now looks unlikely.
