    How many carriers operate their 787's to CMB as of now?

    QR did in the past for a short period of time and currently KLM and LOT utilize them
    Anyone else?
    Thomson Airways sends B787-8 to CMB from LGW every Tuesdays. Addionally Thomson Airways is going to operate B787-9 to CMB from Stockholm and Helsinki from December 2016.I didn't see LOT is flying CMB this Winter 2016. Any idea? Travel Service Airlines was sending a charter with B737 from Warsaw for Colombo via Bahrain few weeks ago. But the Travel Service Airlines B737 was diverted to MCT due to techinical issue and it didn't finally fly to CMB. All those passengers were sent from MCT to CMB onboard Oman Air. On that occasion, Oman Air was flying CMB with B787-8 to carry more Travel Service Airlines's passengers. Oman Air currently use B737 to CMB on their double daily flights.

      LH starting flights to Colombo would be another step in getting frequent and easy connections to The Americas. Lufthansa already operates a 744 and 748 from BOM to FRA and MUC. Air Canada has connections with Srilankan via Frankfurt. I hope they continue the codeshare through another destination (PEK, PVG, HKG, NRT etc)
      LH Operates MAA, BLR, BOM and DEL
      This is 2016 and not early 2000...Indian airports have improved a lot and Jet Fuel price in CMB has gone up considerably
      CMB is getting very uneconomical to operate...
      AC is expanding Indian operation and Maxed out in DXB...so why does AC needs to codeshare with a oneworld partner UL

                    Spotted Indonesian Operator Sriwijaya Air Boeing 737-800 at CMB

                    • Saudia Airbus A330 in CMB

                      Any Idea why SV Operated an A330-200 to CMB today? The route is generally served by its Boeing 777-200ER. FR24 shows that another similar flight is scheduled for the 11th of December.

                        Hi Aaqib, It's a charter service for umrah pilgrims, operating every Thursdays and Sundays from Indonesia to Sri Lanka. Then the pilgriums will be moved to Medina and Jeddah on the SriLankan and Saudia flights. I think SV2710 came from Jeddah to Colombo to take the umrah pilgrims to Medina. Saudia wet-leased the A332 plane from Onur Air to operate the SV2710 today. I think one of the ex-SriLankan A332 is also now with Onur Air.

                          Thanks for the info mate. I think OnurAir is operating the ex-UL A330-200 (4R-ALG) for SV if im not mistaken,I recall seeing it on YouTube in a similar white livery at HYD

                              Shanghai's Boeing 767s operated on behalf of MU at times. Seen them quite a few times at SVO.
