    Thanks for analysis, yeah, the plane inside of the hanger is 4R-ALM as i can tell, the last flight it operated was BOM-CMB on NOV 6th. Do you have a reason as to why UL would want to change 4R-ALOs R1 engine? and it seems like 4R-ALH is missing or is being parked somewhere else.

    And I think 4R-ALL would return to service this week. But still can't wait to see it back..
    I see kind of paint cracks in 4R-ALO. Is it normal?

      4R-ALO has been having paint cracks for a couple of months now (i believe), not sure why but I think its due to the hot humid weather or something.

            Technical issue?

            So far, if MRE doesn't come to CMB soon it will make UL's situation worse, they will be cancelling more and more flights, which isn't good since its the start of the winter season, as of now, UL has six inactive aircraft.

            4R-ANE
            4R-ANF
            4R-AND
            4R-ALL
            4R-MRE
            4R-ALH

            UL must get these aircraft back to operation asap!!

              Small addition, ALL is not in a C check, It is suffering from engine issues as per a comment from trainee (aircraft maintenance engineering).
              UL needs another big hangar to accommodate at least an A330s.

                    Nice to see 4R-MRE arrived in CMB and back in service with UL119. What was the reason MRE got stuck in CGK?

                        Yes, ALM has been inactive since 06/07 Nov. Literally now ALM is active on FR24 as EGR1201. Saw earlier ALL was active as "N/A". Both are outside the hangar if i am not mistaken. UL must be hurrying to restore all the flight ops back to normal.

                          4R-ALL is going back into the hanger for some reason?

                              4R-ALL is outside the hanger once again.

                                Still no update of 4R-ALT, While appearing on a TV programme. Senior Manager of Aircraft Engineering Mr. Sanjeewa Dissanayake confirmed that UL will be adding a new aircraft to it's fleet this month and also that UL will be expanding it's fleet to 25 aircraft by January 2025, 4R-ALT is ready for collection and is sitting idling at TEV, interior and seats have been fitted.

                                the other A330s will be added onto ULs fleet this year, probably during December..
                                Is 4R-ALT in UL colors or plain white like ABS?
                                spotting Y-12s and helicopters from my home..
