    As per FR24, Centrum Air from Tashkent going to fly direct flight to CMB on 2-Nov. I am wondering if it's a one-off flight or regular flight. Any idea?
    Centrum Air leased couple of A321neo from MyFreighter Airlines for operating leisure flights.
    It's going to be a weekly regular flight, for some reason its scheduled earlier than usual (was scheduled to begin on the 17th of November onwards.) Will operate using A321 NEOs. Glad to see CMB getting traffic.

    Thank you, So does this mean that QR will be extending their leasing of WY's A330s for another few months? I've heard they would be extending it uptil late OCT. Got any updates?

    An Indian aircraft made an emergency landing at the Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) on the afternoon of October 28 due to a bomb threat, marking the third such incident in recent days.

    This time, the threat was directed at Air India flight AI-281, which was scheduled to land at 4:05 pm but arrived slightly earlier – at 3:57 pm – as a precautionary measure. The aircraft, an Airbus A-320, was carrying 108 passengers and eight crew members. The bomb threat was reportedly received by Air India’s headquarters in New Delhi through an anonymous call, which was immediately communicated to the airline’s management in Katunayake, who then notified local airport authorities. This triggered the emergency landing protocol.

    Do you know what's causing the delay introducing the new destinations SHJ, DOH, CCJ, TRV?
    Hi Banu, There is another amendment of the W24 Schedule of 8D, will share with you all shortly, There is no delay upto now regarding new routes, 8D is expecting to launch asap, probably after 1 st of Dec (SHJ, DOH, CCJ), No clue about TRV, but willing to start before 1st of Dec.

    I don't believe it is impacting UL yet, since UL is going to be switching from CMB-CDG-FRA tri-angular routing to CMB-CDG and CMB-FRA next year, I believe these routes will be deployed using A332s? Please correct me If i am wrong.

    Also, any update on UL's full fleet getting activated by the end of this year? Would love to see the remaining A32Ns and A32Qs back in operation.
    UL is currently operating A332 (ALS) on CMB-CDG-FRA-CMB route on some days. As far as i am aware ALS have cramped seat config as 18J/279Y. Does anyone have experienced the flight onboard ALS? Any opinion on the leg room, interior, IFE?

    Also, UL to increase SIN-CMB flights from 7 to 9 weekly starting OCT 29.

    RedWings to begin DME-HRI flights from tomorrow (RA-73329 will be deployed), looking by the schedule is going to be a bi or tri weekly flights. Departing flight will be headed to either AER or KUF.

    4R-ALH inactive since 20th Oct
    Sorry. I actually meant 4R-ALV and not 4R-ALW
    4R-ALH is back in service but 4R-ALL is out of service for a while

    Best case scenario its due to certification and regulatory issues, other than that, it's either low pax demand or something else..no clue as to why they delayed it..

    However, good news is that seems like Enter air will be operating WAW-RKT-CMB flights from OCT 29th, from what I have heard, the flight is almost fully booked!

    Yes frequencies to BLR and BOM are to be increased. But we will expect more changes in coming months.

    I find it awkward seeing UL flight numbers are not used properly. UL501 is used to be ex-LHR flight currently being used for triangular flight CMB-CDG-FRA-CMB services and UL flights to South Asian destinations are not using proper flight numbers in the series.

    My thoughts flight numbers have to be used like below until UL do further expansion to South Asian cities.

    UL101 - MLE
    UL103 - MLE
    UL107 - MLE
    UL115 - GAN
    UL121 - MAA
    UL123 - MAA
    UL127 - MAA
    UL131 - TRZ
    UL133 - TRZ
    UL135 - IXM
    UL137 - IXM
    UL141 - BOM
    UL143 - BOM
    UL145 - BOM
    UL151 - DAC
    UL157 - KTM
    UL161 - TRV
    UL165 - COK
    UL171 - BLR
    UL173 - BLR
    UL175 - BLR
    UL181 - KHI
    UL183 - KHI
    UL185 - LHE
    UL187 - LHE
    UL191 - DEL
    UL193 - DEL
    UL195 - HYD
    UL197 - HYD

    Please correct me if I am wrong
