    Thanks ! I see 8D have categorized the flight number by regions. 7 given to Far East, 8 given to Gulf, 9 given to South Asia.

    I have emailed 8D to change the flight number for CMB-KUL flights from 8D721 to 722 and 8D723 to 724. KUL-CMB flights from 8D722 to 8D723 and 8D724 to 8D725. Not sure if its too late to change as the flight to KUL launch on 04-Apr.

    Any reason why MAA flights cancelled? Any chance RUH happening in S25?

    Hi Banu,

    Sorry for sudden step in to this conversation,

    As I stated earlier, MSN     1060 was supposed to deliver to a LCC, with all economy Cabin configuration, UL finance already paid the security fee for the aircraft, and Cabin needed to be changed as per UL colours and configs, thus materials were sent to the lessor for the cabin modifications but, there is an issue with cabin separation since UL needs both J and Y classes, and lessor informed regarding structural issues on cabin modifications. And as I got info, UL new board decided to give up on MSN 1060 (So, we can say MSN 1060 will not join with UL) and already transferred security fees to MSN 1037. (Confirmed news)

    UL engineering has sent cabin floor carpets to the lessor for MSN     1261 A330-243.

    No info or even idea or gossip on MSN     1600.
    Thanks for the brief update ! Really appreciated !

    Got an update MSN 1060 parked at LPBJ and so that means may be MSN 1060 is going to be stored at LPBJ until it find a new taker.

    Have the lessor forward the materials to Naples for MSN 1037? will MSN 1037 join UL in UL-colors?​

    There is MSN 1600 (10 Yr old A330-343) parked in LPBJ and did air test on 05-Mar-2025 after registered to Aergo Capital. Is UL leasing MSN 1600?

    I wonder MSN 1060 ferried to LPBJ on the 07-Mar-2025 for the purpose of transferring Cabin and Seats to other aircraft (probably MSN 1600)?

    Hi Banu,
    I think i know the reason as to why MSN1060 was ferried LETL to LPBJ, Beja has MRO services (Supplied by a company called AEROMEC, a company within the Omni Aviation Group),since it supports Hi-Fly. Hi-Fly has used Beja as a location for aircraft maintenance, storage, and testing. Remember when Global Airlines A380 was flown from Dresden to Beja to receive it's final maintenance? Beja also has a Aircraft storage facility, which means that MSN1060 will probably either be stored or will be going for final maintenace before delivered to UL, since Haleef has stated that MSN1060 is probably cancelled due to structural issues, it's safe to say that it's probably due for storage.. Not sure though. Please correct me if I am wrong.
    Thanks.

    Too bad UL Decision making is lethargic... We should have grabbed on those HongKong Airlines A333 that were brand new and idling at TLS without being taken delivery. Should have sorted our fleet issues till 2030 when we could be in a better position to place fresh orders. Now those A/C converted to Freighters. Very Sad

    Do you know lease expiry of 8D fleet?
    Hi Banu,

    Could not get much info about lease periods of 3 planes of 8D, As far as I know, EXQ does have     90 min ETOPS, Not sure about the EXR, should have ETOPS, but EXS does not have ETOPS.

    Hearing news that MSN 1060 and 1037, both A330-343 are cancelled due to aircraft having too much structural issues. MSN 1261, A330-243 might turn up somewhere during May'25.
    UL is currently on the look out for B737, ATR, A330 and A350 aircraft.

    Seems like the reason is incompatible cabin interiors of 8D A320s with Etihad fleet.
    Majority of workings, approvals, permits are still pending, lot more work to be done. 8D will not land at DXB as a technical stop, since 4R-EXQ has ETOPS, so 8D can fly directly to RUH.[/FONT]

    Recently noticing QR deploying A350-1000 for CMB flights. Do you know which aircraft CX will use when it increase CMB flights from 5 to Daily from Aug25? Remember CX planned A359 to CMB before. Not sure why that not happened.
    Hi everyone, seems like EK is delaying it's A359 deployment to CMB. Don't know as to why, checked EKs website with a dummy booking and still no A359 in their system. Emirates WAS supposed to start A359 operations from March 1st, but seems like they have decided agaisn't it.

    As far as I am aware, CX will be still using the A333 on the HKG-CMB route. CX was supposed to deploy it's A359 to both MAA and CMB last year, but apparently due to supply constraint issues. They pushed it back, Theres a chance they will switch to the A359 or 77L towards the end of the year because of increased demand.

    I see booking for RUH not yet open. Will 8D operate 10 weekly in total to DXB when it start 3 weekly CMB-DXB-RUH route? Does 8D have 5th freedom rights to carry passengers between DXB-RUH?

    Guys, Any idea which airlines are currently flying between DXB-RUH route?
