    Thanks for the update! Good to see 4R-ANE back in the sky. Any idea if the whole UL fleet will be active by the end of October '26?

    ANE - fully serviceable condition & currently in short storage (awaiting some documentations)
    ANF - in service
    It's nice to see 4R-ANC back on revenue flights already. Do you know why 4R-ABO hasn't been flying since June 20th? Is it under maintenance?

    Hi All,

    It's Happy to see the First Handling Flight of 4R-ANE after long time of storage. Hope it will join with UL revenue service soon.

    4R-ALH is on lease from AerCap. Can anyone confirm if that has changed recently
    Hi Banu,

    Greetings from Colombo!

    I suggest to create a separate Thread/Subject for Sri Lankan Airlines. Only a Suggestion, ideas are welcome.

    Sumisho Air Lease - It was formed in April 2026 following the acquisition of Air Lease Corporation by Sumitomo Corporation, SMBC Aviation Capital, Apollo, and Brookfield.
    I guess now 4R-ALH is owned by UL.

    The Reason to Ground all A21Ns?
