      Amazing !! Is it Schedule flight or Charter or technical stop ?

      Good to see another MD11 in Colombo after such a long time. In 2000s, Lufthansa Cargo used to operate 3 weekly MD11F service on the FRA-SHJ-BLR-CMB route. Saudia Cargo was the another operator used to operate 1 weekly MD11F on TPE-CMB-JED service until 2003 i guess.

        Most probably a technical stop.

          Thanks. That Unknown Destination is Khartoum = https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/z-gaa/

          Can't the MD-11 directly fly Kuala Lumpur to Khartoum without technical stop in Colombo?

                • This EuroAtlantic Airways Boeing 767-36N(ER) appears to be dumping fuel at FL100 before making an emergency landing at CMB. By looking at previous flights performed by the aircraft i assume that they were en route to Kuala Lampur.

                        This 767-300ER is operated by the Saudi Arabian carrier FlyNas (XY/KNE).The aircraft in question is a wet-leased aircraft from the Portuguese operator EuroAtlantic Airways (YU/MMZ) mainly allocated for Umrah and Haj Pilgrims connecting Jeddah with Kuala Lumpur. FlyNas have previously wet-leased Malaysia Airlines Boeing 747-400's on this sector too.

                        • The world's new planes in 2017

                          Commercial jet makers will introduce an unusually large number of new planes in the new year.


                          Some new aircrafts to watch for in 2017...

                          I am not sure if the MC21 will get FAA approval...

                          OK here is the question...If anyone watch the A350-1000 video...guess the aircraft owner next to Saudia aircraft...almost at the end of the video...?

                          & 2016 goes to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBM8E5vili4

                              For the past two days I've observed many Air China 737-700's being ferried to MLE to and from PVG and PEK no idea why though

                                Citilink's brand new A320s are being ferried to Jakarta from Airbus Factory (Toulouse) via Colombo. PK-GQR & PK-GQT.

                                Do you know the aircraft registration for those two Air China B737s being ferried to MLE ?

                                Wishing you a very happy and prosperous new year !!
