      I think Sri Lanka should promote the tourist attractions in Southern Sri Lanka and attract seasonal charter foreign flights to HRI. There are many tourist attractions in Southern Sri Lanka e..g . Yala, Kathirkamam Arugambay etc are near Mattala. What do you think? At the same time Sri Lanka should open the schedule flights from Colombo urgently. Maldives is taking advantage of Sri Lanka restricting Sri Lankans and tourists arriving at Colombo. The SL Gov has to act on this immediately on re-opening the Colombo Airport with safety restrictions.

      Please find the cout of passengers visited Mattala from Kiev after 28 December 2020

      1st Flight - 28 Dec 2020 - Skyup 185 passengers
      2nd Flight - 29 Dec 2020 - UIA 204 Passengers
      3rd Flight - 02 Jan 2021 - Skyup 173 passengers

      Source: https://colombogazette.com/2021/01/0...-in-sri-lanka/

      Skyup is due to bring 3000 Tourists to Mattala before March 2021.

      All the best! Hope all go well

      Are any other airlines apart from SkyUp and UIA scheduled to bring in Tourists to SL?
      I also heard that there will be repatriation flights operating to SriLanka with one flight scheduled for tomorrow.... does anyone have any info regarding this ?

      • The Airbus A321-231 (c / n 3636) EC-NLJ from Privilege Style is closer to its incorporation.

        The aircraft will bear the name "Cte Eliseo BorrĂ¡s" and was sent on November 10 from Colombo to Woensdrecht, via Doha, still as SriLankan Airlines (flight UL1205 and registration 4R-ABR). The set-up for the transfer to the Spanish company, painting included, has begun there, in charge of his lessor Avolon.

            Hi Savin, I wonder if its going back to LHR as empty flight or going to fly via MLE ? Is it possible BA parked in HRI until 27-Jan-2021.

            England is playing two test series in Galle

            1st Test on the - 14 to 18 Jan 2021
            2nd Test on the - 22 to 26 Jan 2021.

            G-ZBKC is now on the way back to LHR from HRI. I don't think there are any passengers in it, maybe cargo?

                    May be due to Quarantine procedures I think

                      I am quite surprised why BA used B787-9 to carry 40 passengers (players & supprt staff) to HRI. Any reason why smaller B787-8 not used instead of B787-9.

                        According to planespotters.net, out of 12 787-8s only 7 are in service while 17 out of 18 -9s are in service. Im sure it’s much more cheaper to use a -9 instead of reactivating a stored -8 in case all their in service -8s are busy.
