More Malaysia Airlines Airbus A330 Charters to Rockhampton Airport

Malaysia Airlines Airbus A330-300s continue to fly into Rockhampton Airport each night, operating charters on behalf of the Singapore Armed Forces, ferrying troops in and out of Rockhampton for Exercise Wallaby 2012.

As we posted below, 9M-MKE and 9M-MKJ both operated from Singapore to Rockhampton on Saturday 13 October.  Local spotter 'IAD' was on hand and noted both A330s on the ground at Rockhampton Airport together.  9M-MKE is pictured below preparing for departure.



9M-MKE was late in arriving and thus departing, which had a flown effect with 9M-MKJ waiting and eventually parking on Gate 6 as shown below.



On Sunday 14 October, both 9M-MKE and 9M-MKJ returned to Rockhampton Airport from Singapore.  Spotters were out in force as 9M-MKE touched down as MH8710.






It later departed back to Singapore as MH8753.

9M-MKJ then returned to Rockhampton as MH8729.  It departed back to Singapore as MH8743.

At the time of writing, there were two more Malaysia Airlines arrivals scheduled into Rockhampton Airport tonight on Monday 15 October, although there is information suggesting these are arriving Kuala Lumpur and departing to Singapore.

Thanks guys!
