    I cannot be so sure about such flight numbers being fixed for certain purposes. Because as I remember, 4R-ALD was ferried to St. Athan under the flight number UL 1205, but in the past few months I remember seeing flights to Europe under the same flight number. The one-off flight to Hamburg happened under UL 1205. And as of UL 1422, the repatriation flight to Wuhan happened under UL 1422 back in January.

    Since ALS is being used, I assume this is a cargo operation and she is set to leave HAN at 1815 Vietnam Time.
    I remember UL422 was earlier CMB-HKG via BKK flight number.

            I guess the same fate will be for ALA, ALB, ALC, ALH, ALJ. ? . Any idea when 4R-ALJ leaving Sri Lanka?
            SriLankan CEO said UL doesn't need 30% of the current fleet after impact of COVID19 on Aviation Sector.
            I wonder UL is going to do with A350 orders? there is no confirmation about negotiation between Airbus and SriLankan.

              4R-ABR (A321-200) is to leave Sri Lanka within this week or the next on ferry flight for delivery to the new owner. Will update when closer.

                I noticed today at 14:33 (Sri Lanka Time), 4R-ALJ did the engine ground run at Colombo and it's showing in FR24 as EGR0001. Is it getting ready to leave Colombo Airport?

                  I've seen she had an EGR about 2 months ago too.

                    Thanks for the update !

                    I can notice another Engine Ground Run is in process now for 4R-ALJ. Wondering if she is getting prepared to leave in coming days/weeks?

                        According to Planespotters,net, 4R-ABR is going to Spanish Airline "Privilege Style" this month and to be registered as EC-NLJ. I am wondering if it has been painted in Privilage Style Airline livery in Colombo?

                        https://www.planespotters.net/airfra...irlines/rzw56m

                        Most probably 4R-ABR will be painted like this. Privilage Style is replacing B757 with A321 fleet. Good new home for 4R-ABR.

                        Azamh - Yes 4R-ABR is ex-QR aircraft. Did you fly on SriLankan A321 before ? how was the cabin on the aircraft?
