            ER-BAR visited CMB on the 14th of November as well. Continued to NBO from CMB. Maybe this is a regular flight to CMB?

                I see ER-BAR is operating kind of non-fixed operation via CMB. I see day of operation/route differ each time.

                09/10-Nov - Routing : MFO-CMB-NBO-JOH-CMB-BKK-MFO

                14/15-Nov - Routing : MFO-CMB-NBO-CMB-PNH. (Hoping the final destination is MFO)

                • I see unknown B737 departed from CMB and flying towards east. Any idea?

                    I think it is a charter flight? Last week I saw an A319NEO business jet coming in for CMB, departing from singapore, aircraft then was on ground for maybe two or three hours before finally flying towards north-west.

                      Sorry to hear this cargo aircraft coming only for refuelling. Hope SL develop the export and will see more freighter flights.

                      I remember back in the days following Cargo flights operated out of CMB.

                      China Airlines Cargo B74F - TPE-CMB-AUH-LUX
                      Korean Air Cargo - B74F - ICN-SIN-CMB
                      Cathay Cargo - B74F - HKG-CMB-MAA-HKG
                      Malaysian Cargo - A33F - KUL- MAA-CMB-KUL
                      Singapore cargo - B74F - Dont remember the route
                      Hinduja Cargo - B72F - SHJ-DEL-CMB
                      Emirates sky Cargo- B77F - HKG-CMB-DXB
                      Royal Jordanian Cargo - B70F - AMM-CMB
                      Saudia Cargo - B74F - TPE-CMB-JED
                      Qatar Cargo - B77F - DOH-LHE-CMB, DOH-KHI-CMB
                      Etihad Cargo - B77F - CMB-AUH-MXP-CMH
                      Lufthansa Cargo - MD1F - FRA-SHJ-BLR-CMB
                      Srilankan Cargo - AN1F - CMB- MLE , MAA, TRV, CZB, DAC, LHE, GAN
                      Expo air Cargo - CMB-MLE, GAN, MAA, LHE, KHI, SHJ

                      • Any possibility CMB re-launch the plane spotter gallery again ? it was closed down 10 years if i am not mistaken.

                        What do you think CMB preserving the classic airliner B727 (TU-TAB) in front of the ATC tower? if possible they should paint the aircraft in Airlanka livery. My wishful thinking! if you look at LHR, they still have the concorde preserved.

                          Nice to know CMB started seeing plenty of aircraft visits! just noticed ER-BAS B74F arrived from HKG to CMB. Seems this cargo flight is operating as HKG-CMB-JOH-HKG since few weeks.​

                            Yes, Nice to know that 3K will be operating it's first flight to CMB after four years.. cant wait...
                            CMB has the potential to be a Cargo and Logistics hub similar to that of BLR. Hopefully 2025 will be a good year for SL tourism and trade

                              HRI is not being used as a refueling facility is because of the lack of facilities there, unlike CMB, HRI does not have on demand facilities, which is a major reason I believe that most ferry flights go through CMB,or at least that's my viewpoint, please correct me if i'm wrong, thanks.
                              ​It seems international aircraft have started using HRI for refuelling? Noticed AN12 from DRW took a stopover at HRI. rego : UR-CNT. Route : DRW-KUL-HRI. Notsure where it's heading. I remember seeing this aircraft at CMB back in 2010.

                              • Plane spotting at Adelaide, hopping on a short flight to MEL and then onto CMB soon, will send more pics at MEL.
