    The Pope left for the Philippines on board a SriLankan Airlines flight. I thought SriLankan will use A330-343E to transport pope to Manila?
    Papal Plane (UL4111) just flew past Phnom Penh. It is now set to enter Vietnamese airspace.

    Any possibilities Srilankan airlines starting direct schedule flights to Manila?

        Nope they won't. There isn't any bilateral trade and it is a very low yielding market. Plus I believe a direct flight would be out of range for a A320/321. A332/A333 and A343 will be two big. An example of how low yielding and how much budget focused PH is. PR I believe flies the A333 with the highest density. If I am not mistaken A333 with 404 seats. 390 Y and 14 Y+

Flightstats says that this route to be operated on board A330 aircraft. So When did Mihin Lanka took delivery of A330 ? or Is this A330 leased from SriLankan as per this news - (http://www.dailynews.lk/2011/12/08/bus04.asp). Can anyone shed any light on this?

                      How did you find out Kapila Chandrasena was onboard on UL4111 ? Is he still CEO for SriLankan?

                        Yes I believe he is. Only the Chairman has quit.

                          This does not seem factually correct re: A330. Plus I dont think MJ flights to MNL ever operated. Proposal may have been there. I wont put this news past a piece of bad journalism.

                              Philippines works in a very different style .. as of now Filipinos get E-Visa, vs arrival visa before

                              Sri Lankans have to submit a dozen documents even for tourist visa

                              not likely for PH to change their protected air space !!

                              PH has a strong local air industry, with PAL, Cebu pacific, Air Asia and dozens of small operators, but they are all in control, in limiting foreign airlines cannibalising their yield

                              5J too has 333 with high density seating !

                              PR just started adding more 321s with high density seating

                              banuthev, MJ never flew to manila, but they code shared with other carriers, for tranist pax
