    Do you know lease expiry of 8D fleet?
    Hi Banu,

    Could not get much info about lease periods of 3 planes of 8D, As far as I know, EXQ does have     90 min ETOPS, Not sure about the EXR, should have ETOPS, but EXS does not have ETOPS.

    Hi Banu,
    I think i know the reason as to why MSN1060 was ferried LETL to LPBJ, Beja has MRO services (Supplied by a company called AEROMEC, a company within the Omni Aviation Group),since it supports Hi-Fly. Hi-Fly has used Beja as a location for aircraft maintenance, storage, and testing. Remember when Global Airlines A380 was flown from Dresden to Beja to receive it's final maintenance? Beja also has a Aircraft storage facility, which means that MSN1060 will probably either be stored or will be going for final maintenace before delivered to UL, since Haleef has stated that MSN1060 is probably cancelled due to structural issues, it's safe to say that it's probably due for storage.. Not sure though. Please correct me if I am wrong.
    Thanks.

    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.

    Seems like the reason is incompatible cabin interiors of 8D A320s with Etihad fleet.
    Majority of workings, approvals, permits are still pending, lot more work to be done. 8D will not land at DXB as a technical stop, since 4R-EXQ has ETOPS, so 8D can fly directly to RUH.[/FONT]

    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.
    Hi everyone, seems like EK is delaying it's A359 deployment to CMB. Don't know as to why, checked EKs website with a dummy booking and still no A359 in their system. Emirates WAS supposed to start A359 operations from March 1st, but seems like they have decided agaisn't it.

    As far as I am aware, CX will be still using the A333 on the HKG-CMB route. CX was supposed to deploy it's A359 to both MAA and CMB last year, but apparently due to supply constraint issues. They pushed it back, Theres a chance they will switch to the A359 or 77L towards the end of the year because of increased demand.

    I see booking for RUH not yet open. Will 8D operate 10 weekly in total to DXB when it start 3 weekly CMB-DXB-RUH route? Does 8D have 5th freedom rights to carry passengers between DXB-RUH?

    Guys, Any idea which airlines are currently flying between DXB-RUH route?

    I even wondered flight number assignment of 8D...Will keep you all posted regarding the 8D's Summer Sked 2025.

    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.
    SkyUp still operating 6 weekly flights from VNO,RIX,TLL,WAW respectively, 737-700 operates this route via BAH. Will operate until the end of March.

    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)​

    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.

    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.

    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?
