    I flew on UL 207 in May this year. Flight was only about 40% full. UL cannot compete this route with EY
    with EY as a 'premium' carrier and 3L as a LCC, flying this route, I'd like to see how UL fits in this frame.

      Yes, have flown it 10-12 times since Covid. Business class almost always only has positioning flight crew and BA Tier Points runners as AUH-CMB-CGK was - until a month or so ago - the cheapest way to earn BA Tier Points (560TPs for $800 rtn in Business). Economy always seemed busy, but margins are slim there and eventually UL accountants must have realised that they weren’t making much of a profit on the pointy end. Cargo could be a revenue winner?

      Loved the UL service and food, didn’t mind the old A320s either, seats more comfy than the neos! And the UL deputy station manager at AUH was lovely, always happy to help the constant stream of mad people doing ‘back to backs’ at AUH (i.e. getting off UL207 and straight back on UL208). One guy I met was shuttling AUH-CMB-CGK and back 8 times in a month!
      welcome to the forum, Spongthrush ;
      the last bit's a bit wild to be honest..
      I don't think UL had(at least) a break-even in the route
      how about the other carriers serving this route?
