4R-ALL - Year 2026 - Lessor : CIT
4R-ALM - Year 2026 - Lessor : Avalon

4R-ALP - Year 2027- Lessor : Avalon
4R-ALQ - Year 2027- Lessor : Avalon
4R-ALR - Year 2027- Lessor : Avalon

there might be a chance that UL actually does extend EOL dates because
a) the aircraft are still relatively young compared to other A333s flying around.
b)A333s are hard to come by at this much of a number without differences.

Farhan Hussain n863gt If I'm not mistaken, this will use the newly introduced wireless in-flight entertainment system "SkyPlus", enabling passengers to be able to watch on their portable devices.

That's too bad this new addition to the fleet will have such an outdated J-class configuration (no direct aisle access from every seat) and no in-seat IFE. The seat upholstery looks really bland as well.

Hi Haleef,

First, Thank you so much for sharing those images!

Business Class looks much outdated,, and also colours are not aligning with UL colour scheme (Not even like the business class of 4R-ALS, it is better than this) Dissapointed about the business class configuration, Hope UL will not use this aircraft for long haul flights spcecially for MEL, SYD, LHR, FRA, CDG.
Appreciate if we can get the images of Economy class of this aircraft.

But However, Something is better than Nothing, But Something UL have must use in the best scenario!

Thanks for the update! Is MSN 1261 going to be registered as 4R-ALT instead of 4R-ALV?

Guys, Do you have the seat config for MSN 1261? and what is the period of lease?

is this only on J class though? or does it apply to Y class as well?
then my only problem is when the mobile device is (well, I have to use the term) a potato.

something's off. 4R-ALT is (now) an A332, not an A333.

Yes, that is because now 4R-ALT is now MSN1261 as per the above update I shared earlier, we can also conclude that MSN1261 has been successfully reregistered as 4R-ALT, as we can see that the airport is at CHR, probably running some engine ground tests.

MSN1060 isnt coming to Sri lankan as per discussions on the forum.

The underwing registration can be seen in the first attachment, '4R-AL.....'. She should be 4R-ALT soon. Also FR24 is giving the wrong info. Will try to amend it when it comes online again the next time. Attached a few more images of VP-BNX at CHR back when it was in the hangar for painting and one outside. I'm thinking the paintwork was done by Vallair MRO.
