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.

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.👍 1Comment

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😀 1Comment

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.

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.Attached FilesLast edited by MAW2000; 24-06-2026, 10:51 AM.👍 1☕ 1Comment
