                This year I’m not sure. Will not be in England most probably but if I am in, I will definitely go for it.

                    First picture of 4R-MRD in SriLankan Livery in Air Sri Lanka Forum.

                    Pic is by MadrasSpotter. Sri Lankan Airlines's "Airbus A321-231" (4R-MRD) taxiing to terminal apron at MAA, inbound from Bandaranaike International Airport, Colombo (CMB) as UL125.

                    Any update on re-registering 4R-MRD to 4R-ABS/ABT ?

                            Jokers! They’re better off getting rid of MRC/MRD and MRE

                                MRC is no longer in the UL fleet. The leases of MRD & MRE were extended during the cancellation of A350 order with Aercap.

                                    Looks like a cheap paint job... No UL logo in the engine cowling and no visit Sri Lanka under the belly? 😮🤐

                                                    UL's Unprofitable Destination

                                                    Today's flight from CMB to GAN comprised of just 30pax! which meant that the Airbus A320-200 assigned on this sector (4R-MRE) as UL119 was flown 80% empty!

                                                    What an absolute waste!

                                                        I can notice UL didn't spend much on paintwork and interiors of MRD & MRE. Could it be because the extended leases expire within one or two years ?

                                                            Waste of money. UL is reducing the frequency of GAN flights from 4 to 3 weekly in Summber 2018. I think UL should terminate the GAN route. I wonder what's the pax load factor on UL's SEZ route ?
