        4R-ABN is on its final phase of the extensive C-check….will enter service end of this month or next.
        4R-ABN did engine run on the 23-Jun. Seems engine run done near A320 hangar.

        Good to see MRE & ALH back in service.

                Iran smuggles two planes from Lithuania, evading sanctions

                The aircrafts’ transponders – which enable them to be identified on air traffic control radars – were turned off on entry into Iranian airspace.

                Iran smuggled two planes out of Lithuania, the country’s public broadcaster announced on Thursday. The planes were due to fly to Sri Lanka and the Philippines.

                The two Airbus A340s, leased by the Gambian company Macka Invest, were due to fly to South Asia in February but reportedly ended up in Iran. The aircraft’s transponders—which enable them to be identified on air traffic control radars—were turned off upon entry into Iranian airspace. The aviation data site ch-aviation reported that one plane had landed at Mehrabad airport in Tehran and another at Konarak airport in Chabahar. (Foreign Agencies)

                                    Good to know ABO back in service! I believe it was out of service for more than 7 months. Correct me if i am wrong?

                                            So in total are we expecting 2 more A320 with ABT? I thought the lease tender called for 5x A320 and 5x A330

                                            Any idea of the 4x A330 we will be getting? what models (-200/-300)? when delivery to UL?

                                            High time ABL and MRE exit the fleet. Very bad condition. When are their leases up?

                                                I was flying on ALR from LHR-CMB earlier this month. IFE were not working in the economy class and friendly cabin crew tried to restart the IFE but still didn't work. UL better keep IFE are in good working order especially for the fleet which are being used on long-haul routes.

                                                I think lease of the MRE were extended during the cancellation of A350 order. Any idea on lease return dates for ABL & MRE?

                                                            Do you know the registration of the aircraft you flew from SIN-CMB with IFE problem?

                                                            ALQ had pretty good IFE when I fly return journey from CMB-LHR.
