Actually, it is true. It has had the oxygen modules and engines done fixed. It is back in play for UL once again.

MSN 1037 also had structural issues as per our previous discussions. Has that also been fixed?

It seems MSN1037 due to ferry on NAP-ISL yesterday but not left NAP yet? any reason?

that was some time ago.
Haleef said that it might go to UL again per his last post.
not sure though, it was said that the airframe, along with MSN 1060(now flying for C6) had interior holes(for the interior, not speed holes) in the places UL didnt intend them to have in.
I do have some thought that this airframe might go to C6 instead since they're currently getting ex-TG A333s to their fleet.

Hi all,
Discussions are on going with SL authorities and Azur Air to begin flights to SL for the upcoming winter season, Azur Air to operate seasonal flights from November onwards to CMB but there are some rumours that they will be operating to HRI instead, this will be the first time in a long time a new carrier will be coming to HRI.

Thanks, someone please update with more info if possible, source from Aviation Voice.

RWZ also operating to SL in nov.
so it's not sure what AZV would do considering RWZ normally operates to HRI.(both flights are from russia to SL as I remember last year.)

Can see 4 UL aircraft are grounded incl ANE. AUH termination probably due to shortage of aircraft? just to note UL increasing CMB-BKK flights from 14 weekly to 18 weekly only from 15-Dec.

Possibly for maintenance?

ABL since 26-Aug

4R-ABL back in service since 20-Sep-2025.
