Un-marked DC-9/MD-80 at AMS

Arriving AMS at about 20.15 local time this evening (27th Aug), there was a plain white (I think, didnt get a great look at it) MD-80/DC-9 type taxiing away from the H-stand - anyone know who it belongs to and who its operating for?

My only guess is that its a leased in aircraft operating for Sleazy...H-stand usually dominated by baby boeings and buses and the assorted FlyBe types, so an MD is a bit unusual there...

It was MD-83 SE-DJE of FLY EXCELLENT operating for Sterling Airways to ARN. It is indeed all white / no titles.

Thanks Avman, mystery solved

I take it this aircraft is leased in to cover out of service aircraft?

Could be, however, quite a number of European airlines also lease additional equipment to cover for the Summer peak.
