    Currently there are one Airbus A320neo and two A321neo aircraft grounded due to the unavailability of engines.

    SriLankan Airlines will be getting its full fleet activated by the end of this year.

    With three more aircraft expected the airline has a plan to grow its fleet to 27 aircraft by the end of next year.

    Let's hope the best the full fleet activated by the end of this year. Since ABT already joined the fleet, 2 more aircraft are to join the fleet this year. Wondering which aircraft type going to join the fleet next?

    ABN was active earlier on Fr24. May be still testing going on.

    UL470 to Seoul diverted today. Any reason?

          It seems ALH due to fly back to CMB today as UL266.
          Wondering what was the reason it was AOG in RUH?

                  I believe most of these A320N groundings are due to ongoing engine issues with both types of NEO series engines which limit the number of flying hours before aircraft have to be grounded for routine inspections. In a way UL may be lucky they opted for CFM LEAP instead of PW 1000G GTF engines since they seem to have relatively less issues but both types have significantly less reliability than the old CFM56 and V2500 engines of the CEO series. Due to these issues with the NEO engines, there is a global shortage of these engines for at least 2-3 more years according to analyst predictions I have seen.
