What are they doing with the A343s exactly?

The 3 Airbus A340-300's namely 4R-ADA/B/C will be scrapped

Flew their A340 last week (4R-ADC) CMB-MAA everything about the flight was horrible really disappointing as i felw SpiceJet (VT-SZB Boeing 737-800) MAA-IXM and being a budget carrier it was way better than UL from the service to the legroom and the food

[Aaqib]

Is it me or what?? UL font seems a lil bit cranky on this bird??

Yeah the wording seems a bit off... they should have painted this in CMB as SriLankan just repainted 4R-ABG here for Viva Aerobus and they did a pretty good job didn't they?

[Aaqib]

I wish they will keep at least 1 four engined Aircraft since We have no 747's in the fleet.

They are allowed to keep only 3 types so i doubt they'd keep back the A340's as they have a higher maintenance and fuel cost compared to the newer aircraft
The 3 would be the the Airbus A350-900 the Airbus A330 and the Airbus A320 Family (A320/A321)
