Originally posted by flylanka View PostChina.. UL flies to PEK, PVG and CAN,, those are main Chinese cities.. Dunno where else we could fly. Other cities may not have a load adequate to fill an A330? May be fly to Xian , Cheng du,Shenzhen via BKK on a A320.. But what frequency?.. Africa may be NBO and JNB? But route has to be properly planned. I believe why UL is eyeing Africa and China is because of the heavy China Africa traffic. When I travel inter Africa I am amazed at how many Chinese Nationals are on board these flights. Again as I said.. route has to be properly planned for it not be a disaster like the UL A340 flights to JNB which lasted only 3 months. Plus KQ and ET fly state of the art B777-300ER and B787-800 (or progressively introducing these Aircrafts) so UL has to make sure they use right A/C, manage yeilds and manage connections.

However i doubt 4R-ADE/F/G will leave the fleet by the end of Dec 2015 when all the A333 deliveries complete for SriLankan.

Originally posted by Skyliner View Post4R-ADA/-B/-C will surely meet the scrapmen, they have to many flight hours. The other three could find a new home but I would doubt as nearly all recent A340 retirements resulted in storage since awaiting an uncertain futureAlways fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this business
