Lufthansa A320neo in ALN
One of Airbus's favourite hot weather testing locations is Al Ain, Abu Dhabi (IATA code AAN).
A little Googling reveals that A320neo #6920 D-AUBG has been there recently testing the GTF engine fix.
Using IATA codes instead of airport names in posts only saves time if you get them right.

For the poster maybe, those of us who only know a few codes would probably prefer to see proper airport names - I'm certainly not going to be bothered to look up a code to decipher which airfield is being referred to. Same with airline codes.
The great thing with the web is that you can open up another window and google the code - it takes five seconds. Which is just as well as I am hopeless at non US ICAO codes.
Though given that they haven't had the good manners to acknowledge their question being answered, it makes you wonder why we bother.

Lufthansa A320neo in ALN Anyone knows what is going on with LH A320neo parked at ALN? LH engine covered...? 
It's been stopped there (in Al-Ain - UAE) for a week.
Last monday, a A400M flew from Airbus Toulouse to Al-Ain. Last time it did that route, it was carrying a GTF engine.
