        Great News !! Thanks. Do you normally take transit at CMB ?

        I think the A321neo which is joining the UL fleet in 1st week of July is going to be used on these new CZB, VTZ, HYD flights. Do you know where do these CZB, VTZ and HYD passengers are going to fly out of CMB ?

          Actually except Vizhag, the other two are service resumption. Sri Lankan Airlines used to flies to Coimbatore and Hyderabad until December 2008.

          Ref

          Good to see some new destination. Regional expansion is prefer before the long and ultra long routes.

                        4R-ALA is not yet active on revenue flights since it was taken for a C check as mentioned here before.
                        4R-ALC last flight as per flighradar24 was on 29th march
                        4R-ALJ is also inactive for over 2 weeks now

                        Any update...

                          Please advise where did you hear UL have cancelled 5 x A359s? As far as I know UL initially ordered 4 x A359 on lease from Aercap and another 4 x A359 from Airbus but UL cancelled all 4 x A359 with Aercap and 4 x A359 with Airbus not been cancelled.

                            As per lessor SASOF, leases of old 3 x A332s have been extended by UL. Must be ALA, ALB, ALC are those old 3 x A332s.

                            Hi CSButterflyeffect - Any updates on lease returns of A332 fleet ?

                              I agree UL cant make profit with current aircraft fleet which were acquired on high lease rates. But UL needs good management so it can avoid further losses and wrong decisions.
