Apparently UL504 that was scheduled to depart London 2040 last night was cancelled.
Can anybody please shed some light on why?
Must be some technical issues.
I'm due to fly to Sri Lanka on this flight on Friday. Haven't seen many recent YouTube videos on this airline but I have seen delays due to "technical issues" cropping up. The previous poster has mentioned a case with an SL flight from chennai scheduled to depart this morning.
On a side note I think my flight is far from full. I've received a couple of emails from the airline in the last week to invite me to:
1) bid for a business class upgrade
2) buy my adjoining seats for £95 so I have a row to myself!

I heard there are few configuration issue causing delays inducting 4R-ALT to the UL fleet. I couldn't get permission to see the aircraft in the hangar as Maintenance provider/Aergo Capital is asking to get permission from UL but UL says they can't give permission as the aircraft in custody of Aergo and UKEF. As we know 4R-ALT will be wetleased by Aergo Capital to UL. Finance will be provided by UKEF (UK Export Finance).Originally posted by n863gt View Post
Maintenance provider confirmed 4R-ALT definitely inside the hangar and doors are closed couldn't take photo.Leave a comment:

I went to see 4R-ALT at TEV today morning but the aircraft is no where to be seen but got to know from the staff over there the 4R-ALT has to be inside the hangar at TEV. I got photos of the other parked aircraft from TEV. I will post in the forum when I arrive home.Originally posted by banuthev View Post

Hi, my apologies.Originally posted by n863gt View Post
Seems like the flight diverted from WAW to OTP for some reason, don't know why. I was confused since E4 usually doesn't operate from OTP, thats why I asked.
Thanks.Leave a comment:

Seems like Enter AIr (E4) is operating flights from OTP to CMB via RKT. Can someone confirm?
6E rumoured to begin BLR-JAF flights soon onboard their ATR-72s.
