    edit- I dont know for how many years exactly it was leased, but it was last leased in 2015.
    4R-MRE originally delivered to MJ in Nov 2012 leased from ILFC until May 2014 and leased from Aercap since May 2014. If I remember the lease of 4R-MRE were transferred to UL during four A359 order cancellation with Aercap in Oct 2016. Can someone advise me the lease expiry of 4R-MRE?

      The existing paint is in bad shape and really needs to be done
      okay, now it looks worse than 4R-ALO. not sure whether UL really wants to keep aircraft AOG for painting considering the small fleet, but that needs some serious work.

            FR24, cirium and flightaware all shows that the aircraft used is a A300-600(pax)/AB6.
            considering that SV retired its A300s circa 2012, it's not sure if another operator will operate on behalf of SV.

                    Sad RUH not going to happen. Any next new destinations for 8D in coming months? and any new aircraft going to join 8D?

                    Thanks for the update on MLE ! I have updated the above table.

                      Operated by EC-ODR (A333) and return flight number was SV4622.

                      Any update on SV and RX commencing CMB schedule flights?

                        Yeah it was not shown on FR24, i tried to look up further details on google etc but nothing there either. hopefully itll be operated continuously and bring more economic value to the country.

                          Coming in surprise! can't see it on FR24. Is this cargo flight operating every Mondays and Thursdays? anyone know the arrival and departure timings also?
                          Every Tuesday and Thursday of the week. Flight number O3289 (KMG-CMB) arrival to CMB at 11.04hrs and O3290 (CMB-KMG) departure at 12.47hrs (All times in Sri Lankan local time).

                          It might not operate on this coming Tuesday due to insufficient loads, but will operate on Thursday again as I heard.

                              Operated by EC-ODR (A333) and return flight number was SV4622.

                              Any update on SV and RX commencing CMB schedule flights?
                              any reasoning for the one-off flight?
