There's actually a strong market for the middle ground, with people wanting something better than a no-frills, seat-only product but not ready to pay for a full premium service - and most 'premium' carriers are charging extra for many services now anyway. -
When I was travelling regularly to AUH for meetings I would always try to take the UL 207 when possible as the timings were better than EY. Arriving around 22.00, I could be in the hotel room by 23.00 and get a good sleep, two hours before EY.Originally posted by banuthev View Post
I don't know how much traffic was connecting to BA, I always imagined it being more to UAE; certainly EY used to sell AUH as being easier to get to Jebel Ali and Jumeirah than via DXB.

good to see HRI picking up traffic. if HRI's surrounding infrastructure developed and the risk of a bird strike reduced, it has great potential to be a better airport and pick up more traffic.Originally posted by Serendib View Post
random question, but why does RML(an international airport) have little to no international traffic? I'm a bit confused about that. only a/cs I see are SLAF Y-12s, AN's, helicopters and (rarely) a 8D C208.
I did, though, spot a private jet land about 2-3 times in RML last year.Leave a comment:

Hi Both,Originally posted by n863gt View Post
n863gt Could not get much info on the aircraft MSN1060 .
Banu,
Yes, We can guess as aircraft's Thai cabins were removed and configured with All Y Economy cabin, supposed to join with an LCC who operates A333s already. Materials and equipment were sent to the lessor to carryout the refurbishments. now, I think, all workings are ongoing without disruptions! As per That employee's words "Probably by January 15th, if no any disruptions!"Leave a comment:

Got an update on 4R-ALT,
Aircraft is having a Cabin refurbishment at the lessor's faciltiy in Spain. As per the info got from credible source, some Materials and equipment were sent to the location for the refurbishment and 4R-ALT will arrive with new cabin (Previously it had the Thai Cabin but it was removed by the lessor and refitted with a All Y cabin for someother customer but UL could reserve the plane) by 3rd week of January as per the current update!
ThanksLeave a comment:
