AirAsia Boeing 737-301

9M-AAJ photographed at Phuket (HKT / VTSP) on Mar 12 by YK. The reverse color scheme of AirAsia maybe better than regular one.

9M-AAJ photographed at Bangkok - International (Don Muang) (DMK / VTBD) on Nov 10 by Andrew Hunt - AirTeamImages. One of the better looking variants of the Air Asia colour scheme. Used to have a red nose, but after a landing incident in 2003 was blamed on the red nose(!!!) which is considered bad luck, she got a white nose! [Nikon D70]

9M-AAJ photographed at Macau - International (MFM / VMMC) on Nov 9 by K.H. Ng - HKAEC. Carrying the special colours of the low-cost carrier, this B737-300 was ready to depart for Bangkok at 1100LT. Being a LCC, this aircraft has stayed less than an hour for loading and unloading at MFM.

9M-AAJ photographed at Bangkok - International (Don Muang) (DMK / VTBD) on Apr 17 by Vector Grafix. I've always found this the strangest livery on AK's multi liveried fleet. She originally had a red nose section too but, due to superstition, was repainted white after a landing incident in Nov 03. Seen here operating for Thai Air Asia, a newly formed subsidiary operating out of BKK, although crew and aircraft are drawn from the fleet based in KUL. [EOS 10D, EF 24-70L]

AirAsia Boeing 737-301

9M-AAJ photographed at Penang - International (Bayan Lepas) (PEN / WMKP) on Feb 22 by WingFlex. Within weeks of entry into service with AirAsia, this ex US Airways aircraft which originally had its body red extended to its nose cone, was involved in a landing incident on Nov 4 03 at Alor Star where several tyres were blown. Rumor has it that they painted the nose white a la 9M-AAG for superstitious reasons that their new variant of schemes was of bad luck.

9M-AAJ photographed at Phuket (HKT / VTSP) on Jan 31 by Bill Blanchard - AirTeamImages. Taken from "the rock" - a great place for photo's but it seems that security are getting wise to it and moving people on.

9M-AAJ photographed at Kuala Lumpur - International (Sepang) (KUL / WMKK) on Jan 26 by Vector Grafix. Perhaps the most unremarkable livery of Air Asia's colorful fleet of 737s. This aircraft originally sported a red nose section before it was painted white following a Nov 4, 03 landing incident at WMKA (Alor Star) where several tyres were blown on the landing roll. Ex US Air N342US. [Canon 10D, EF 100-400L]

9M-AAJ photographed at Kuala Lumpur - International (Sepang) (KUL / WMKK) on Dec 15 by M Radzi Desa. No wonder she has been missing! After the Alor Star incident she has been painted to look likes 9M-AAG. Check out photo ID 448869.
