    Hi Banu,

    Could you please double check the 8D's schedule, cross check with schedule that I've uploaded just before this. Check MAA, MLE .
    Thanks, really appreciated. I have updated them now accordingly. Please check if it looks good.

    Do you know what's causing the delay introducing the new destinations SHJ, DOH, CCJ, TRV?

        I believe UL still has CMB-FRA and CMB-CDG flights in mind? The schedule here is the JAN 25 schedule, which shows UL563 and UL553 returning back. Also PVG and PEK flights are coming back, as per this schedule.
        Hello Banu,
        Please update Q2's aircraft from 320 to ATR. They will be deploying their ATR' 72 and 46s to CMB instead of their A320, and they will be increasing frequency from 2 to 3 weekly, (Fri, Sat and Sun) (please correct me if im wrong)

        Thanks.


        Also, looks like UL will increase BLR-CMB from 7 to 10 weekly, and UL to increase BOM-CMB to 16 weekly!!!!

        Seems like MH will be deploying it's new 737 Maxs to cmb, also some notable changes in my opinion are OV increasing MCT-CMB from 3 to 4 weekly A32Qs..6E increasing BOM-CMB from 4 to 6 weekly and HM also increasing SEZ-CMB from 1 to 2 weekly..

          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

            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!

                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

                    Im suspecting that they will deploy their A32Bs to CMB.

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

                    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.

                      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?

                            • 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.

                                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?
