    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

      I believe UL1141/2 is a scheduled charter flight of some sorts, otherwise its unlikely for UL to deploy CMB-BOM-HRI-CMB route.

      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.

              Good day Banu,
              Took these photos yesterday at Melbourne, finally arrived home from MEL after visiting family at Adelaide.
              Sorry for not taking alot of photos. But if you are curious about pax load on UL605 it was a full flight actually, we were delayed by an hour and thirty minutes.

                  • Indigo from MAA-CMB diverted to TRV and now on its way to CMB. Any reason for the diversion?

                      Thanks.
                      It seems WCA cargo didn't fly CMB this week. May be not schedule flight.​

                      Instead I noticed on FR24, RGA Cargo B737F just departed from CMB. Rego : PK-MBA.

                      WCA Cargo & RGA Cargo are part of Asia Cargo Network Group.

                        PK-MBA and a Qatar A7-APE A380 was diverted to CMB yesterday.

                        • Captured 4R-ALO arriving at LHR as UL505 on the 22/12/2024.

                          Does 4R-ALO need cleaning or fresh paint?

                                looks like it needs a paint job. someone posted about a similar problem on the 'Sri Lanka aviation' forum when 4R-ALO was last put into maintenance.
                                looking at pictures from planespotters.net, it looks like this was starting to form around q1-q2 of 2024.
                                UL might not want to put it into paint now because they dont want to ground an aircraft in a high season.
