    Well It looks like TK is not interested in leasing their A350s. Its funny Sunday Times previously reported UL close to wrapping up a A350 deal with TK.

    Only 3 was due this year and 1 next year. Any idea of the MSN which has been sub-leased to some leasing company?

                I'm very much surprised QR didn't codeshare on CMB-TRZ flight. At the moment there is no flights operating directly between Doha and Trichy.

                            Probably being transferred to the UL fleet maybe?
                            UL could do with a two more A321's and leaseback ABK and ABL, the two oldest A320's currently in the fleet

                                                    Yes. it's true. There are no UL direct flights to CDG & FRA from W16. Is UL going to sell the slots at CDG & FRA? So LHR is the only European Gateway for UL.

                                                        Rumour has UL already sub-leased the first A350 (MSN52) to other operator. It makes sense Airbus has now painted the MSN52 all in white. UL now negotiating on sub-leasing the other three A350 (MSN55/60/171).

                                                        Another rumour : 3 x A330-200s (ALA,ALB,ALC) are going to retire from UL fleet beginning of 2017 and they are planning sub-lease 3 x A330-300s (ALL,ALM,ALN) to other operator.

                                                        Even if they take the delivery of MSN55 & MSN60 this year they can't continue CDG & FRA with only 9 Widebody Fleet. 3 x A330-200s (ALD,ALH,ALJ) and 4 x A330-300s (ALO,ALP,ALQ,ALR) are going remain in the UL fleet. Before It was expected the delivery of MSN171 to UL in end of 2017.
