    Just found this A319 operate by Australia Government - Department of the Environment and Water Resources. It transports the deported Sri Lankan assylum seekers from XCH to CMB. http://www.smh.com.au/opinion/politi...418-2i31q.html. This aircraft visited CMB also on 18/19 Apr 2013.

            A319s with belly tank can do longer range .. the longest I know flown was HAM-SIN, non-stop, and the DC Aviation - SIN-MUC

            Anyway deportees may not have much luggage with them, right ??

                even A318 does JFK - LCY. I think CMB - XCH can be accomplished with an A319 without tech stops.

                  the 318-JFK-LCY, if I remember, had to do a tech stop on the way out, only on return it comes in non-stop !!! Not sure .. \

                    Correct, LCY - JFK flight having a technical stop in SNN when the return flight from JFK - LCY operating as nonstop. Please note it's an A318 with only 32 seater Business class. If I recall it correctly BA openskies started the LCY-JFK-LCY services using A318 after concorde grounded indefinately. On an A318, LCY to JFK flight takes 9:15hrs and JFK to LCY takes 7:15hrs. You rather take normal BA F/J class flight from LHR to JFK in 7:30hrs and JFK to LHR in 6:40hrs. Probably there must be a valid reason for operating this all J A318 service between LCY and JFK. But mostly Business Passenger doesn't like spending more hours in flying and in the 45 minutes technical stop.

                      @Sakith - What's the aircraft registration for this BA Boeing 777 ? How is the load factor doing ?

                          Some really nice shots here of the BA birds at CMB. Great to see this airline back in Sri Lanka after a long hiatus. This is a good sign for SL hopefully more carriers will follow in BA's footsteps. Wonder why they don't fly from Heathrow though instead of Gatwick?

                              Looks like this is a weekly affair....and see it made it to Darwin from CMB this time in return leg.

                              ASY846 Royal Australian Air Force Flight Tracking and History 25-Apr-2013 (CMB / VCBI-DRW / YPDN) - FlightAware
                              http://flightaware.com/live/flight/ASY846/history/20130425/0655Z/VCBI/YPDN
                              Track Royal Australian Air Force #846 flight from Bandaranaike Int'l to Darwin Int'l / RAAF


                              A319's has the longest range in A320 family and usually does 5-6 hrs trips with pax.
                              For example:
                              UA421 (UAL421) United Flight Tracking and History - FlightAware
                              http://flightaware.com/live/flight/UAL421
                              Track United (UA) #421 flight from Salt Lake City Intl to Denver Intl



                              I have seen 737's doing 9+ hrs on delivery flights from Boeing plant to places in Europe (of course empty birds like in this case)
