      "my response to when will 4rabq return was that oct 4th it wud fly cmb dxb cmb doesnt mean the plane's first flight after upgrade is in oct 4th. it might be delivered back to UL by mid august or earlier".

      Well.. had there been a proper answer for my question, I would have not gone onto mention anything else..

      Thanks for your kind response anyways..

        If all is well 100% prepared it will take 2 - 3 weeks but 4 to 5 weeks is not unusual if there are any troubles, which are non un-usual, are coming up when the old cabin has been removed. There might be some extra work in the galleys if they are needed to be replaced as well as there might be additional parts required which are not on hand -e.g.caused by corrosion which is not unusual with planes based at desert airports yiu will detect only after galley removal.

          @ Skyliner.

          Thank You for the detailed information... im glad that such doubts when cleared can help other members gain some general knowledge in this forum.

          Looking forward to ABQ and the rest of the A321 fleet to be inducted.

                    It is equipment related not airworthiness related.

                    ADS-B will be mandatory (I think from 2015). No ADS-B installed in the 3 older A340
                    Older TCAS versions no longer allowed. These aircraft also have an older version of TCAS installed.

                    Any restrictions will be related to one or both of these issues - retrofitting is expensive.
                    Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this business

                        ABQ 16-153 . ABR starts ops end of OCT
                        Yeah It looks like 4R-ABQ completed with cabin configuration and she is on her way home (CMB) . According to Sakith, the seat config for ABQ is 16/153. Any idea if ABQ has IFE in economy class? What is the MSN of 4R-ABR?
