SX-OAJ makes early morning departure

Catching some off guard, Olympic Air's A319 registered SX-OAJ departed Shannon for Athens at approximately 08.15L this morning. The aircraft, msn 3905 had been rolled out of the Lufthansa Shannon Paint hangar yesterday. Pictured above in the copyright picture by Malcolm Nason, SX-OAJ is seen shortly after roll out. Curiously the aircraft used flight number AEE 001 on it's transponder on departure from Shannon. Either Olympic are poaching Airbus pilots from Aegean or else Aegean's AOC was used for the ferry to Athens !
