That's very interesting news. With such a small total fleet, it would not be fiscally prudent for UL to operate a mixed Boeing and Airbus fleet. While 787s would be an interesting add (777s are likely too large for UL's needs), I do hope they are not considering the 737 Max.
Better to stick with Airbus, IMO.Last edited by A359; 23-10-2025, 02:46 PM.Comment

Agree, if going with Boeing, It should not be B737 Max jets, its should be B787-9s, B777 is too large and no requirement to operate such a big aircraft, UL needs to maintain separate Boeing and Airbus warehouses and Crew sets which complicating operations, so better to stick with Airbus for a while.
Some very younger A320-232WLs and A320-214WLs are there and few A330-243s are there as I heard. (Recently few airlines ceased their operations and declared bankruptcy)
UL can do something with its existing order of 4 Jets in Airbus order book, (As I mentioned : Converting it to A321-251Ns {Better} or A330-841s) but it may take time.Comment

I think there are a lot of ex-NK A320-232WLs being wfu from their fleet from a while now.
OG has some A320-251Ns stored since its shutdown.
I do agree that they should not rush to operate boeing jets because of the great differences between aircraft of the 2 manufacturers.
getting brand new jets would take a long time in this period.
apparently i am not able to quote up a post, hence the manually applied quotation.
