Aeroflot is going to fly Colombo-Moscow route from April 1. Twice a week.
SVO-CMB - 23:55 - 10:50+1 - A333 - THU SAT - SU0284
CMB-SVO - 23:55 - 06:50+1 - A333 - FRI SUN - SU0285
UL also still have plans to operate Moscow. Do you think there is a demand on the route to fly both UL and SU?

MSN 052- B-304U (4R-XWA)
MSN 055- B-304V (4R-XWB)
MSN 060- B-301D (4R-XWC)
In my opinion adding a freighter to the UL fleet is sketchy, but bringing back the XWBs to the fleet would be a healthy option. UL could convert the A332s (4R- ALA,ALB &ALH) to P2F instead of bringing a dedicated freighter and replace them with 350s. UL could cater the XWBs for the EU and Australian markets better than the A333s. Everything is going to depend on the demand post- COVID.
