Hearing news that MSN 1060 and 1037, both A330-343 are cancelled due to aircraft having too much structural issues. MSN 1261, A330-243 might turn up somewhere during May'25.
UL is currently on the look out for B737, ATR, A330 and A350 aircraft.
Is lease agreement cancelled also with Orix for leasing 2 x A332s? i see MSN 1261 is going to be leased from Aercap instead of Orix. Do you know the seat config of MSN 1261, period of lease and UL aircraft registration?

Good news EK will be deploying their new A359s on their EK655 to CMB soon, starting from 10th of March, after a delay of 3 months due to supply chain issues. EK will be the 2nd A350 operator at CMB after QR and SQ (SQ will join later this year).

Recently noticing QR deploying A350-1000 for CMB flights. Do you know which aircraft CX will use when it increase CMB flights from 5 to Daily from Aug25? Remember CX planned A359 to CMB before. Not sure why that not happened.

Can someone confirm for how long they will be in CMB for? thanks
On the 26-Feb noted Flyone operated A321 SL from RMO to HRI. Tech stop in DWC if I recall it correctly. Rego : YR-FIB.
Is Skyup still flying to HRI? Redwing still coming with one flight almost every day.

According to my opinion, not a good thing to operate Turbo Props within the Island for domestic flights which has currently no demand for that, but also not good to operate them for international flights within short-haul Indian sector since UL's business model is different, as we say, Legacy Star Class International Carrier.

Apparently Sri lanka has had record arrivals of tourists in February. Saw some articles on the local media a few days ago.
I flew Sri Lankan from London recently and as with my previous flights, there is a large number of foreign passengers. Yet SL is claiming the numbers are decreasing.
They seem to have posted a loss in the last quarter..

It appears 8D is looking to operate 4 weekly to KUL with Flight Number 8D721/2 & 8D723/4.
Can you please share the MSN of the A320s going to join 8D fleet? Are they going to acquire aircraft capable to fly CMB-RUH nonstop?

No news or idea about the MSNs of A320s, but those are much older ones, they wouldn't be allocate for medium haul flights (DXB, DAC, KUL)
RUH will be operated via DXB, CMB-DXB-RUH-DXB-CMB.

What is the source that you get the flight number of CMB KUL CMB as 8D721/2 and 723/4? 8D721/2 is used for RML-JAF-RML domestic C208 operations.

FlyONE operates 1 weekly flight from RMO to CMB, via DWC. A321 operates this route. Will operate until the end of March. (Please someone confirm if dates have changed)Sien (KR/SL/US)
