They will be built and either be "white tails" or they will go into storage in Lourdes or Chateauroux,
UL can't pay for them and they are not needed especially if most of the European routes are going to go.
They've deferred delivery - but the Airline will only be in worse shape next year. They won't be able to pay for them next year either.
What makes most sense is that they're trying to offload them to another customer. Explains why Qatar CEO was in town recently.

Does anyone from UL have any insight on any projected fuel savings by replacing the 200s? Or that does not matter anymore because of the global oil prices? I feel the 332s need to be replaced, but with the current long haul route cuts 333 might be a better option?

Personally I'd love to see A350s flying in UL colors. I guess we'll have to wait and see

The Premier also explained to the House that the Government was faced with no choice but to go ahead with the purchase of four Airbus A350-900 aircraft for SriLankan Airlines, because reneging on the order made by the previous Government would result in Sri Lanka having to pay USD 1.5 million each in demurrages. The Government would have to follow through on the purchases, even though the national carrier was making huge losses, Wickremesinghe explained.
“A350-900 purchase agreements were signed by the previous regime, which lead the company to make a loss. SriLankan was a politically driven company. In 2012 the net loss was Rs.17 billion. It has gone up to Rs.26 billion in 2013. In 2014 the loss was Rs.31 billion. With the oil prices coming down the net loss for 2015 came down to Rs.16 billion,” he told Parliament. Wickremesinghe said the four airbus aircraft will have to be obtained at the full purchased price, with the remaining four being bought on lease, despite the national carrier’s losses. “There was no feasibility study done by the previous Government. They must have expected people to line up in airports to fly in these new aircrafts. Now the FCID is investigating the purchases,” he said.By Ashwin Hemmathagama – Our Lobby Correspondent Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe yesterday moved to adopt a Commonwealth Parliamentary tradition in the House which allows members of the legislature to question the Prime Minister directly.
