Saw 2 business jets parked at Ratmalana today morning. One was the same Bombardier Global Express 5000 that was spotted a few days back by spotters, and I think the other was a Learjet. Both white colored. Will try to get pictures of them both if possible. Since Ratmalana is handling business jets for some period of time, wonder where will they send them to during the first few weeks of March, as the Sri Lanka Air Force will be celebrating their 66th Anniversary with air displays and also visitor attractions. Probably HRI will handle these for those few days I guess?

Mostly these business jets are carrying visitor to Colombo area. Taking the business jet to HRI would cause unnecessary time for them, so they will avoid visiting Colombo for the first week of March or they may try to get approval to park in VCBI until Air Force ceremony complete.

Originally posted by Haleef View PostTo my extent, I think it will be an issue. They will be having a few display items as well for the visitors, and also it might be like last time. The whole airport will be used, and the runway will be used for the people to crossover from the Attidiya side to the other side. So I don't think they can land or takeoff during that time.

An unclear picture of the SriLankan A320neo.. Saw it on Instagram, so thought of sharing. Let's wait for good pictures from more spotters in the coming few weeks..

Thanks for the picture. 4R-ANA is now in Hamburg. This picture was taken in Toulouse and its too big for A320neo. Could be an A350 ? �� when does the picture was taken? I thought all three A350s had been painted in full white.

Rusline CRJ1 operated as ZF7749/50 which is the flight number of the Azur Air flights to DME-CMB for past few weeks. What could be the reason Azur Air is using 50 seater aircraft instead of their usual B767.
