It was certainly a rare combination - an Airbus A319 in full Mexicana titles with a Greek registration. That wasn't the rare bit - the rare bit was that the sun shone in Shannon when it landed ! Olympic Air's new fleet acquisitions are growing apace with several aircraft scattered throughout Europe being painted in readiness to enter service with the newly revitalised Greek carrier which carries the legacy of the original 'Olympic' name. This evening, A319-112, msn 3905 and registered SX-OAJ arrived from Hamburg to be painted in Olympic Air's colours at the Lufthansa Shannon Paint facility. The aircraft was originally ordered by Mexicana and would have been registered XA-MXR, had it been delivered but now wears Greek registration SX-OAJ. The aircraft carries hex code 46BC2A and is seen above on finals to R24.
