A bit disappointing though since these are actually the newer used A320s in the fleet. The more recent used ones are much older and appear to have been leased for a longer period. As such UL wont have a consistent product throughout their narrowbody fleet, unless they upgrade these aircrafts which isn't worth it IMHO.

And heres a short article including a brief interview with the UL CEO: http://www.thesundayleader.lk/2011/1...-new-aircraft/

I hope they select 777-200ERs to replace the A340-300s. The older A330s can be replaced by newer ones if they are in a rush, or better still with 787s but these will take another 6 years, given Boeing's order book...
