Got it, thanks! I've managed to avoid sUA B772s for quite some time :-)

78X:
N16009 B2 flight today at CHS
I also do not understand why they are starting to retrofit the sCO 772 at HKG instead of prioritizing the sUA fleet first.

Because sCO 777 also need routine maintenance?

Scheduled on UA 918 IAD-LHR on Tuesday, April 30, operated by 2897/N797UA. Fleet site shows IPTE config but seatmap for inbound flight (UA291 on 4/30) shows Polaris. Any ideas what's going on?

N685UA, former N590HA, ferried GYR-LAX 2714/28Apr.
My guess is N685UA will ferry to HKG after N684UA exits with high J Polaris/PE (STC for ex HAL aircraft).
Based on dates, looks like N677UA should be ready within a few days to exit HKG and a replacement unit into mod will provide enough released Y seats for all three HA units.

788:
N29907 entered XMN maint 2743/28Apr

789:
N26967 exited XMN maint 2742/29Apr

753:
Confirmed that all 21 units have had DTV removed. Entire fleet is now PDE only. Wifi for ex-CO fleet is Thales Ka band. Wifi for ex-ATA fleet is Panasonic Ku band. Fleet code for entire 753 fleet is now 75E.

752:
N19136 exited MIA with new seat covers. This completes the 752 Y seat modification.

I'm guessing it's the previous lessor's tail number.

EDIT to add:

or not.

| Airbus A319 -132 | 2739 | N870UB | United Airlines | regd 26apr19, delivery 02may19 | PRG-KEF | ex OE-IDE |

Who knew there was so much turnover in frames @:-)

That was my guess too but the former registration appears to have been OE-IDE and LZ-AOC before that. It doesn't seem to have had a USA N-number until now.
