          Seems like only for today. Could be due to shortage of A 321

            That's only a nacelle change. Techs have not painted it sadly, even 4R-ALD also had a nacelle like this, but now I think it's painted. MEL flight was delayed probably due to an issue in the engine.

                Hi Aaqib, UL does operate flights to CJB every Tue, Thu, Fri & Sat. So there is no UL flight has been scheduled for Sunday (26-Aug). According to UL website, VNS flight is scheduled for tomorrow.

                • Have an update;

                  Rumours state that 4R-ALB was struck by lightning and the aircraft had been in a blackout - meaning that some cabin lights went off and many small problems occured as well in the recent Melbourne delay, but the aircraft landed in Tullamarine Airport safely.

                  Similarly 4R-MRD or MRE also suffered a heavy lightning strike over india yesterday. The aircraft was checked for damages in the nose, but suspects can be of a crack in the fuselage or the nose maybe aince the lightning strike was very heavy with a loud bang after it striked the aircraft from head to tail.

                              Was it a Tech stop? or Medical Emergency?
