I think UL should get some A330-300s as most of the international airlines are cancelling the A330-300s orders in favour of B787s. May be UL can mull some of the A330-300s for discounted-price.

    What do you say?
    No.. UL not going to get A330-300..

              It's not showing in the Airline Inventory System yet. But only I can think of that UL want to continue utilise the local rights from Bangkok after they start flying nonstop flights from Colombo to Beijing and Shanghai. Proposed Bangkok frequency could be like below.

              CMB-BKK-HKG - Daily A320, CMB-BKK-CAN - Daily A320, CMB-BKK-CTU - Three weekly A320
