What routes do you think should resume(Passenger and Cargo)?

I would vote for AMS and ZRH with some better connectivity to North America (mid day arrival/dep)

Qatar Airways 1st scheduled A340-600 flight to CMB landed today

Is UL planning to get 2 more a321s to replace 4r-abl/k?

I know they have ordered 4 brand new a321 neos, but till then i feel they should get rid of 4r-abk/l with 2 more a321s, juts like how they added 4r-abq/r

The 777 will also operate once till the 24th of October if I'm correct. Correct me if I'm wrong.

NO. 4R-ALM is operating. You have to wait until the flight comes up on the radar to actually confirm the type of aircraft.

Yeah it was published in Airfinancejournal UL had signed a leased agreement for four A321neos with Aercap & ALC. As far as i know upcoming narrowbody aircraft delivery for UL/MJ is : two A320neos from lessor ALC to MJ in 2017 and two A321neos from Aercap to UL in 2020. Not 100% sure yet about other two A321neos from ALC for UL. I heard 4R-ABK is now in the hangar for C-Check.
Hi Rahalroxz, Do you know when UL's A320 (4R-ABK and 4R-ABL) are going to be returned back to the lessor?

Thanks Rahal, does this mean ADE has been withdrawn? If so wouldn't there be a shortage of approximately one aircraft?

Hi lordvader...

Yes of course ADE is currently withdrawn from the service .... Actually it was in the first week of August.
ALO came after a week so the absence of ADE is not much of a problem. Besides schedules are designed in such a way that even if an aircraft is grounded they can arrange a replacement. Sometimes there are 2 parallel C checks in the hangar and they still
Manage to continue the service as usual.
