    I can notice UL have been using brand new A333 on HKG route : https://www.flightradar24.com/data/flights/ul890

    Please note 6 x brand new A320neo/A321neo are joining the UL fleet from Jan 2017. High chance UL will deploy A320neo/A321neo on Maldives, Far East and Middle East. I think UL must use brandnew A333 on NRT, PEK, PVG, HKG routes.

    When does UL planning to retire A332 fleet ? UL already cancelled the 4 x A350s with Aercap. Any possibilities UL taking deliveries of rest of 4 x A350 from Airbus in 2020-2023.
    UL will retire it's 332 fleet end of 2019 or early 2020. Since the 3 - 333 will be back to it's fleet (Which is given to PIA for 4 year dry lease). If UL takes the 4 rest of the 350's. Probably they can resume European services by 2020-2022.

      UL is having a tight schedule on utilizing it's fleet. It's better to take the aircraft to the hanger during the runway closure since UL have plenty of time to take care of the fleet.

                • Very bad. I thought SQ is doing well on CMB but very shocked to know they are cutting the capacity. From April 2017, it looks like MI will be operating 3 weekly B738 in the day time and SQ will be operating Daily A333 in the night time out of CMB.

                    If iam not mistken, 4th A350 was leased from Aercap. I thought the lease agreement has been cancelled and UL paid the penalty for all 4 A350s?
