All the pictures show it is still registered as D-AZAB.

There's obviously some issue between the leasing company and UL - my guess is either financial or due to UL losing its EASA 145 certification.

The rumour has AND had an engine issue. Not sure if its still the case.

My assumption would be UL is not in a hurry to take AND until Oct. I can notice the next flight expansion is from 29-Oct.

As already been posted on our forum, there are additional changes to happen for SriLankan Flights. Frequency of Hyderabad flights are going to be increased from 4 to 5 weekly from 31-Oct. Loved to see our national carrier is growing.

UL 's HKG flights are mostly served by A330s.

Can the 32B fly directly from Colombo to Nairobi?
Will it be a profitable route for UL?

It's look like leasing issue of 4R-ABK has finally been sorted. I can see from skyliners web that VT-IHC (4R-ABK) has been ferried to Delhi from Colombo on the 14-Sep.

I'm not sure if NBO would be a profitable route but UL had a plan of operating East African destinations via Seychelles.

I think AMD in India is the next new destination for UL after 4th A321neo joined the fleet in Summer 2018.

It seems to be 4R-AND & ANE are replacing 4R-MRD & MRE. Someone please confirm.
