    Yes, Currently EY have almost 4 daily and 3L have 5 weekly.

    Has anyone flew on UL207/8 before the route cancellation ? Whats your thought on this flight? Since UL cancel the flight to AUH during the peak season makes me wonder if AUH is no longer making profit for UL? Any possibility UL terminating AUH like they did with MCT, BAH, JED?​
    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?

                  Hi All, Merry Christmas to all !!

                  Got an update on 4R-ALT,
                  Aircraft is having a Cabin refurbishment at the lessor's faciltiy in Spain. As per the info got from credible source, some Materials and equipment were sent to the location for the refurbishment and 4R-ALT will arrive with new cabin (Previously it had the Thai Cabin but it was removed by the lessor and refitted with a All Y cabin for someother customer but UL could reserve the plane) by 3rd week of January as per the current update!

                  Thanks

                    Thanks, same to you ! Merry Christmas to all ! 🎄

                    Could be MSN1060 was meant to go to AirAsia before it reserve for UL? Any chance the delay in delivery to UL due to unavailability of the materials for refurbishment?​

                        Hi Both,
                        n863gt​ Could not get much info on the aircraft MSN1060 .

                        Banu,
                        Yes, We can guess as aircraft's Thai cabins were removed and configured with All Y Economy cabin, supposed to join with an LCC who operates A333s already. Materials and equipment were sent to the lessor to carryout the refurbishments. now, I think, all workings are ongoing without disruptions! As per That employee's words "Probably by January 15th, if no any disruptions!"

                            the a/c might have been for XAX. anyways, is the interior a brand new one or a refurbished one?

                              good to see HRI picking up traffic. if HRI's surrounding infrastructure developed and the risk of a bird strike reduced, it has great potential to be a better airport and pick up more traffic.
                              random question, but why does RML(an international airport) have little to no international traffic? I'm a bit confused about that. only a/cs I see are SLAF Y-12s, AN's, helicopters and (rarely) a 8D C208.
                              I did, though, spot a private jet land about 2-3 times in RML last year.
