A Saudia Boeing 747-400 flying in from JED on short finals to CMB most probably to Pick Up Indonesian Umrah Pilgrims that arrived from Medan (KNO) on a Siriwijaya Boeing 737-800 a short while ago
Great to see this beauty back in CMB!

Well spotted ! Its indeed nice to see B747pax back in Colombo. Is it wetleased B747 from Air Atlanta? Good to see CX is already serving twice a week B74F Freighters on HKG-MAA-CMB-HKG.Originally posted by Aaqib View Post
I heard that SV is going to retire all of its B777-200 from the fleet by the end of 2017. Wondering which aircraft would they use on Colombo route to replace retiring B777-200?Comment

Yes this is a wet leased 747 from Air Atlanta Icelandic. It's pretty likely that they'd operate the A333 to CMB since they already utilize this to HYD and I've spotted it in COK too. Another option for SV would be to operate their 777-300ER to CMBOriginally posted by banuthev View PostComment

The picture must have been taken at MAA in the morning. UL122 is getting ready for take off for Colombo bound flight when UL129 touching down from Colombo. SriLankan is currently serving 5 flights a day on the daily basis from Colombo to Chennai.Originally posted by Max View PostComment

In all SV owns 27 Boeing 777-200ER aircraft including 4 freighters all of them being their own metal. However they are quite old with the avrage age being around 15 years with the oldest aircraft HZ-AKA being almost 20 years old!Originally posted by banuthev View Post
Looks like all of them would be phased out and replaced in the near future.
SV has pending orders of 4 Boeing 787-8's as well as 4 A330-300's and 2 A320-200'sComment

I think SV would fly the B777-300ER. The 777-200ER which they currently operate have 350+ on economy.Comment

I wonder what they are doing? Is it a test flight?

Wow when did you spot this on Fr24? It looks like the aircraft returned to CMB after its departure for some reason. May be I'm wrong.Originally posted by Sandaru View PostI wonder what they are doing? Is it a test flight?
