A question for those well into KLM operations.
Last week (Tuesday Aug. 29th), while I was boarding my TAP flight to LIS and FNC I saw a KLM A330 doing the KL1672 that is usually operated by a 737.
I know the route was upgraded to an A330 in the inmediate days after the BCN strike but didn't hope to see it still there, does anyone know if the A330 will keep being a regular visitor to BCN or was it just a replacement?
Btw: Also saw a MEA A330 in LIS doing cargo ops, nice to see them flying.

Quoting Columba (Reply 4): why there is "ETOPS" written on door of the front gear ?
I guess it's a requirement for all ETOPS certified a/c. I've seen it on all certified KL a/c and MH a/c too and even 'TransPacific ETOPS' on others like this CZ beauty:
