This was video was recorded today on 4R-ALR from MAA-CMB as UL122.Originally posted by banuthev View Post
Thanks for analysis, yeah, the plane inside of the hanger is 4R-ALM as i can tell, the last flight it operated was BOM-CMB on NOV 6th. Do you have a reason as to why UL would want to change 4R-ALOs R1 engine? and it seems like 4R-ALH is missing or is being parked somewhere else.
And I think 4R-ALL would return to service this week. But still can't wait to see it back..Last edited by WizzWaveSien; 10-11-2024, 09:53 AM.Leave a comment:

Thanks for the video ! do you know when this video would've been recorded?Originally posted by WizzWaveSien View Post
If i see the video clearly, i guess one A321neo (not sure ANE/ANF) and ALL, ALO parked outside. I believe the R1 engine is being changed on ALO as i see crane near by R1 engine. ALH is parked in the hangar facing outside with doors open. There is an another A330 parked inside the hangar (I suspect it's ALM). ALL used to be parked very inside the hangar few months ago. Good to see ALL outside and I believe ALL has done the checks.Leave a comment:

Ah! thanks for the correction! I thought they wouldn't be operating the fourth daily flight from JAN 2 and that they would be postponing it to MAR 2.Originally posted by banuthev View Post
Do you have any updates on TUI charter flights? heard from someone that they would be resuming their charter flights to CMB soon on their 787-8s and 787-9s from BHX, LGW, and MAN
No update on LOT sadly, it seems like they have postponed their plans to operate to CMB this winter.

According to a twitter video, a user said he spotted around 5 aircraft parked at the hanger, 2 of them being widebodies. He has also brought up this concern with UL.Originally posted by banuthev View Post

I believe supply chain issues are causing delays and shortages of critical parts, impacting maintenance schedules and leading to longer turnaround times. Airline like AC is planning to bring back retired aircraft like B763 to restore the schedule without causing flight delays.Originally posted by channa View PostLeave a comment:

By looking at current status of aircraft shortage, UL better make an arrangement for collecting ALT and other 2 A330s very soon. The cancelled flights due to aircraft shortage can cause loss of reputation for UL during the peak-season and will be expensive to wet-lease aircraft for short-term. Holiday makers won't be happy and be reluctant to fly on UL next time if the action wouldn't taken on-time.Originally posted by WizzWaveSien View Post

Thanks for confirming! It seems EK is still going to increase from 3 Daily but to 27 weekly from 2-Jan-25. New flight EK654/5 will be operated 6 weekly (exc wed) onboard B77W between 2-Jan-25 to 1-Mar-25. From 2-Mar-25, A359 will replace B77W for flight EK654/5 and will be continued operating 6 weekly.Originally posted by WizzWaveSien View PostLeave a comment:

Hi, n863gt.Originally posted by n863gt View Post
Still no update of 4R-ALT, While appearing on a TV programme. Senior Manager of Aircraft Engineering Mr. Sanjeewa Dissanayake confirmed that UL will be adding a new aircraft to it's fleet this month and also that UL will be expanding it's fleet to 25 aircraft by January 2025, 4R-ALT is ready for collection and is sitting idling at TEV, interior and seats have been fitted.
the other A330s will be added onto ULs fleet this year, probably during December..

waves to you, WizzWaveSien and MAW2000 and the crew.Originally posted by WizzWaveSien View Post
They have slightly different models of engines though
ANB=> LEAP-1A26
ANF=> LEAP-1A32
also, I think ALH was temporarily fixed(if that's a thing) to bring it back to CMB from ICN(if I remember correctly)
and yeah, they need to activate their full fleet to accommodate the impending high travel demands for the upcoming holidaysLast edited by n863gt; 10-11-2024, 02:47 AM.Leave a comment:

I am wondering, can A321NEO and A320NEO engines be used interchangeably? I think my theory is that they took the engines off 4R-ANF to fit onto 4R-ANB, but however, I'm not sure and this could mean that 4R-ANF is just going through a random C check.Originally posted by banuthev View Post
4R-ALH is still inactive, probably engine issues I believe.
UL must recover these jets fast, Winter season is beginning soon.Leave a comment:
