    I have flown with Air SEZ a few times, and economy was fully booked. If UL stopped operating due to poor route performance, why are other airlines doing well on the same route?
    Some flights have been over 90%, sounds like you got lucky and flew on those.

    RFP is for Narrowbody jets as far as I know, A320s (214/ 214WL/232/232WL/251N).
    Any update on these A320 deliveries to UL?

    I heard UL is going to launch new destination : Ahmedabad and resuming Kolkota and Coimbatore this year.

    Probably UL will request to extend the 12 year Lease from All lessors.
    Hi Maw2000, Is this 12 years lease extension for UL's A330-343 fleet or UL's entire fleet?

    Dry leases of the UL A330-343s were supposed to expire this year/2027. Does anyone know if the leases have been extended?

    Do you know how frequencies have been planned for Fits Air to AMD? Any reason why LHE was delayed to Summer 2026?
    Some info is confidential, initial CMB AMD frequency will be twice a Week, LHE is also twice a week, this can be changed. Please note that BKK is also in the list.

    that, more of less, would be needed to get done, because finding 7 new jets is somewhat of a big ask in this time period.
    all of the 7 A330-343s have reached 10 years old, with the oldest being 11.4 years old. they would be (or should be, if not already!) planning for replacements in the next 5-7 years(when these jets hit 16-18). until that gets underway, they would need to keep these jets in hand.

    I agree!

    I heard UL have found a spare set of landing gears and now the replacements are underway. Does anyone have more info?

    Wow good news. Had QF been to CMB lately? Don't think so
    QF337 to CMB was a one time charter. Notsure if this flight visited CMB in the past?

    As per below QF spent most days in CMB compared to other destinations in this charter flight. Is this shows the popularity of Sri Lanka towards Australian tourists?

    Any idea QF start schedule flights between SYD and CMB near future?
