Heard, MSN 1261 parked outside of the hangar and UL eng have been doing inspections on the aircraft at CHR. Sorry no new photos yet. I have attached the photo of MSN 1261 which was shared in the forum by French pilot (airclub) last month.

it appears to still be in bermudan rego(VP-BNX), because the tail letters aren't there yet.

Is all 8D's Three A320s fleet have seat config of C8 Y 156 ?

Do you know how 8D performing on KUL flights ? I see SIN also on cards as new destination for 8D as per their website.

apparently in planespotters.net, it suggests so, that all have C8Y156 configs.

Yes, EXS went to HYD for an Engine Swap, since EXS was using EXR's port side Engine, and Came back CMB. Still EXR is on maintenance.

Nop, completely incorrect,

4R-EXS - 180 Y
4R-EXQ - 8 J 150 Y (ETOPS)
4R-EXR - 8 J 156 Y

8D's KUL performence is not the best but, it covers DOC (Direct Operating Costs) since Airline started KUL operations very recently. SIN is not in the queue, but CGK, RUH, BKK do.
