    ANF in hangar, and AND PAX windows got covered and stored on ramp

      these are the ones currently listed, but maybe some other aircraft should be here.
      for example they don't list a lessor for ALH after 2018.
      Thanks for sharing the aircraft registrations are under lease with Sumisho Air Lease. After checking online, I see that Sumisho Air Lease is the new company name for the lessor ALC.

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

              Asked regarding ABS, they don't have time to ground it for painting because UL is short of aircraft. Also checked regarding the OW color scheme. They said the requirement is just for 1 320 and 1 330 at the moment. In case ALH leaves, then they might apply it either to a 333 or 332.

                        Good spot! Could you please share the list of UL registrations for the aircraft leased from Sumisho Air Lease?

                              4R-ALL is currently in the hangar for C checks and 12 year lease checks. ALL will be fully repainted like brand new. The whole cabin and cargo section has been parted out and stripped off. Old paint is being stripped down, already the aft section paint has been removed. ALL will take a while I suppose.

                              4R-ALH is inside for C-checks and also for the repair after the lightning strike. Already a replacement engine cowling part has been fitted. No major damage to the engine components as I heard.

                              4R-ANC also inside for some checks and main landing gear replacement.

                              4R-ANE is outside the 747 hangar with engine covers.
