    as for A7-APC,(SYD-CMB-DOH) maybe it's that CMB is between Australia and Qatar that made it land at CMB first and then go to DOH.(or that (I don't know if this is true) CMB's parking charges are lower than other A/Ps)



    If MRE was lsd for 10 years lease(from AerCap), It would be returned in May I guess ("leased from AerCap May 2014" says planespotters)
    ​
    good signs for ALH though. any idea when it will be in the skies again?​(after a month of 'grounding')
    4R-ALH first flight after longer grounding! UL123 07.12.2024

    Hi Banu,

    After long time since i was not well, hope everyone is doing fine!
    Regarding these new routes, no updates yet, TRV is listed in the website, but its not sure, struggling with ground handling and other work at TRV.
    However with the effect from 18th Dec 24 to 29th March 25, updated Winter schedule is attached!

    Hi Maw, Sorry to hear ! I wish you get well soon !

    Nice to see 8D is planning below routes as per your chart

    7 weekly - MLE
    7 weekly - MAA
    3 weekly - DAC
    9 weekly - DXB (good idea 8D823 to planned with 07:05am CMB departure. also see 8D827 with 16:55 CMB depature)

    also 3 weekly TRV planned as per recent updates

    Any update 8D's new routes : CCJ, DOH & SHJ? Looking forward to get more update on 8D!

    Thanks Wizzwavesien for the update ! Any reason why MU is pulling out 3 weekly KMG-CMB-MLE flights during peak season? could be MU aircraft under maint?

    Few more route network changes

    AI have reduced MAA-CMB flights from 10 weekly to 7 weekly recently.

    HM is going to increase SEZ-CMB flights from 2 to 3 weekly between 02-Jul-25 to 29-Aug-25.

    As we posted here before TK is going to increase IST-CMB flights from 7 weekly to 9 weekly from Jul-25. But TK is going to do further increase on IST-CMB from 9 weekly to 10 weekly from end-Oct-25.​

    Kindly add if i missed any

    Will keep you all posted, after the finalized. Still those routes are pending due to slot availability.

    I hope if UL stops flying to small indian cities, like IXM TRV TRZ, VTZ, and focus on long haul routes like LHR FRA CDG, NRT, AMS, MXP Then 8D can takeover these routes.

    However As per the Winter schedule DAC frequency is increased, from 2 weekly to 3 weekly flights. Time was changed and flight number was changed from 8D911/2 to 8D931/2.
    No any frequency changes in CMB DXB CMB.
    ​Hi Maw, Any reason why 8D changed DAC flight number from 911/2 to 931/2?

    Good morning,

    Hi,​ a lot of A380s pass through the Maldives compared to Sri Lanka, During Cyclone Fengal a lot of A380s began passing through SL airspace once more, however, it seems like it is back to normal, I have spotted only some A380s passing through our airspace, like DXB-SYD, DXB-BNE, etc.. but not a lot I suppose.

    Also, I noticed that A7-APE, the A380 that diverted here yesterday was flying over Maldivian airspace, over Gan I believe before it did a U-turn and then headed to CMB, It is quite strange they didn't land at MLE but instead chose CMB, but I think it is due to runway restrictions..

    Thank you!
    might be runway and stand restraints as you said.

    Hi, I think they will be getting A320Ceos, A320Neos are very hard to get these days, so they will be using A320Ceos for now since they are cheaper to maintain compared to the Neos, and also, I will let you know if plans change and if they decide to go with A320Neos instead..

    Thank you!

    Got it, Thanks.

    weird thing though is that FR24 showed altitude as 200ft after landing and in the taxi out to its stand.
    Yeah, it is a common bug in FR24, happens all the time.

    Hi MAW, Haleef, n863gt and all, I heard in this forum 4R-MRE due to leave the UL fleet in 2025. Is this going through end-of-lease checks ? or will return to UL fleet after maintenance ?
    If MRE was lsd for 10 years lease(from AerCap), It would be returned in May I guess ("leased from AerCap May 2014" says planespotters)
