  • Spice Jet Bombardier Q400 Landing in Colombo

    Spice Jet Bombardier Q400 operating as SG 3341 on a daily scheduled flight from Madurai (IXM) lands at Colombo Bandaranaike International Airport (CMB)

    Spice Jet is a great budget carrier and definitely one of the best with a new fleet of Boeing 737-800 and 737-900ER aircraft along with Bombardier Q400 aircraft.
    Comfortable seats,plenty of legroom,good customer service and crew as well as great food.Overall a great airline which i would definitely recommend to everyone as a superb budget carrier and one of the finest.

    Flew SG 291 (Boeing 737-800 VT-SZB) from MAA to IXM
    Here's SG 3341 (Bombardier Q400 VT-SUM) from MAA landing at CMB

          Hi Umedah, well they use the A340 mainly (ADA,ADB and ADC) to routes in the Middle East,India and Maldives.These are the three which would be going out of service this year.The aircraft are poorly maintained and are used for these shuttle short haul services. UL 121 was almost 40% emplty when i flew it last Tuesday. It had uncomfortable seats almost falling off and IFE not functioning properly.
          A friend of mine flying UL 154 (ADE) was stuck in the toilet for almost 10 minutes due to a jammed door.
          Overall them A340's have a high operation cost and poor maintenance which is why UL operate their A330's to Europe and their A340's to South Asia and the Middle East
          Thanks Aaqib.. so sad to hear the fate for ADA,B,C once a proud bird soon to be scrapped ;(
