    If I am not mistaken EK is increasing 3 Daily to 4 Daily from Mar25. Please correct me I am wrong?

    Any reason for the delay of A350s to EK?
    Ah yes, sorry for my mistake, i meant four daily flights not five. Thanks for pointing it out.

    EK's A350s are getting delayed due to supply chain issues i believe, they were scheduled to operate their first A350 flight this month but however they had to push it back to January.

    ALN appeared earlier on FR24 and still parked in Apron Echo. I believe engineers are still looking into the tech-issue.
    UL606 to SYD cancelled as per airport.lk
    UL 503 was also cancelled on November 9
    Things not going well for UL last few days

    SriLankan Airlines announced the cancellation of flight UL-604 from Colombo to Melbourne, originally scheduled to depart from Katunayake Airport at 12:30 am today, due to a technical issue. Passengers with urgent travel needs have been accommodated on alternative flights, while others will be rebooked on a replacement flight departing tomorrow at 12:30 am.

    SriLankan Airlines has canceled multiple flights in recent days due to technical issues with several aircraft, the airline confirmed.

    The airline said the cancellations are necessary to prioritize passenger safety while its teams work to resolve the issues and restore normal flight schedules. Affected passengers have been provided with meals and hotel accommodations, according to SriLankan Airlines, which is coordinating alternative travel arrangements to help passengers reach their final destinations.

    SriLankan Airlines apologized for the disruptions, thanking customers for their patience.
    I was wondering why ALN was parked in Apron Echo with Flight ID UL604 about five hours ago.

    UL is already down with AND, ANE & ALL, but since last 2 weeks ANF, ALH, ALM & now ALN are out of service . Why many aircraft are out of service in the short period of time?

    ANB, AND and ANE are (I think) having issues with the LEAP engine. I saw one of them having its engines off just outside the 747 hanger(in june though).
    all are shown in planespotters as stored since below dates:.
    ANB->30 oct 2023
    AND->25 jan 2024
    ANE->29 feb 2024
    As WizzWaveSien updated us above, 4R-ANB is back in service. But UL took ANF out of the service since 28-Oct. I wonder why?
    UL reported earlier this year all the neos will be returning to service by the end of 2024. Any progress in bringing back AND, ANE and ANF before the year-end?

    Nice to see 4R-ANB back flying in the good time as sadly UL is experiencing severe aircraft shortage!

    4R-ANB is now doing a test flight as UL10 as you said, just departed CMB 5 minutes ago at 2:30 PM (IST)
