Yes. I got to know this from a senior captain. He said that if a fully painted tail arrived at the station, the airline is definitely getting the aircraft, but just 3 of them if I'm right. The first is expected to come in June or July. -
I heard currently fully painted tail fin waiting for an attachment with the fuselage of MSN55 (second A350 for UL). Most likely UL will take delivery of those three A350s to replace A332s this year. Shame we still don't know the SL rego for these A350s.Originally posted by Haleef View PostComment

Eerily very similar to UL; a once iconic brand bought down by government interference, mismanagement and bloated staff. We already had a round of this by shutting down Air Ceylon and starting UL; the default behavior in South Asia seems to be shut down and start a new entity for plundering when the debt gets out of hand

Those are published fares.Originally posted by Max View Post
Actual fare is about 300 NUC - about 40,000 SLR.
And promo fares of course go cheaper.
Where did you get those fares ?
And SQ has their 50th anniversary promo fares going even cheaper than LCC fares in some sectors.Comment

The order has NOT been cancelled yet, but yes, UL is reluctant to take these A350sOriginally posted by anthonylk View Post
UL will probably have to take the first three because they are leased from AerCap and because three of their A330-200s are to be returned to the lessor as soon as 2017
Regarding the others on order, we cannot confirm that these aircraft on order won't be cancelled.
Kind regards,
Philipp and LucasComment
