    Asked regarding ABS, they don't have time to ground it for painting because UL is short of aircraft. Also checked regarding the OW color scheme. They said the requirement is just for 1 320 and 1 330 at the moment. In case ALH leaves, then they might apply it either to a 333 or 332.

      these are the ones currently listed, but maybe some other aircraft should be here.
      for example they don't list a lessor for ALH after 2018.

        AND is on the ramp for long-term storage, and ANF is inside the A320 hangar. All A321neos are currently grounded. The reason for 4R-ALL’s delay is a supply chain issue — some of its parts have to come by sea rather than by air.

          Was it AND or ANF inside the hangar? I may have mixed up the two.

            Thanks for sharing the aircraft registrations are under lease with Sumisho Air Lease. After checking online, I see that Sumisho Air Lease is the new company name for the lessor ALC.

            4R-ALH is on lease from AerCap. Can anyone confirm if that has changed recently

                  Sumisho Air Lease - It was formed in April 2026 following the acquisition of Air Lease Corporation by Sumitomo Corporation, SMBC Aviation Capital, Apollo, and Brookfield.
                  I guess now 4R-ALH is owned by UL.

                      Alright lets get this A321neo fleet facts straight:
                      ANC - in service
                      AND - long-term storage (engines sent for overhaul and no spares yet)
                      ANE - fully serviceable condition & currently in short storage (awaiting some documentations)
                      ANF - in service

                        French bee, the smart-cost long-haul airline, is strengthening its Indian Ocean network with the launch of new routes to two of the world’s most coveted destinations, the Maldives (Malé) and Sri Lanka (Colombo), both operating exclusively from Paris-Orly.

                        Starting today, travellers can book their tickets to these exceptional destinations for travel starting December 19, 2026.

                          Very crampy flight, will sure be cheaper than UL.

                            Hi Banu,

                            Greetings from Colombo!

                            I suggest to create a separate Thread/Subject for Sri Lankan Airlines. Only a Suggestion, ideas are welcome.

                                Hi All,

                                It's Happy to see the First Handling Flight of 4R-ANE after long time of storage. Hope it will join with UL revenue service soon.
