Originally posted by Serendib View PostGuys, a small clarification. International status not yet granted for Madurai airport. Madurai airport still don't satisfy the requirements for International status like 9000+ ft long runway, etc,. but works are underway (somewhat slow) like Land is being acquired to expand runway length to 12500 ft long, etc.Originally posted by Max View Post
But, international aircrafts are possible with the existing infra like A320s are very much suited for Madurai airport (Present runway length is 7500 ft long) and terminal could handle 500 people at a time. Customs officers are already in place. Only thing is flight service is not there which is expected to be commenced by SpiceJet (We didn't see Mihin Lanka or SriLankan airlines applied using our RTI Act in India).Comment

Does anyone have Srilankan airlines ICN flight schedule???Originally posted by Banuthev View Post
"" SriLankan Airlines will launch flights to South Korea from November this year. UL plans to operate three flights a week. these flights would have a stop over in Bangkok. “The airline is on a mammoth expansion plan and we are looking at adding new destinations and increasing frequencies, "Comment

I don't think it's a good idea for the flights to ICN to have a stop in BKK. BKK-ICN is one one of the most competitive routes in Asia. 11 airlines, including Asiana, Korean Air, Thai and some other LCCs operate over 12 flights a day. UL will have do many things to attract passengers, such as having Korean speaking flight attenders on board and serving better food.Originally posted by skyline View PostComment

It will be better if SriLankan Airlines can sign the code-sharing agreement with Korean Air.Originally posted by uthum View Post
Also CMB-ICN via SIN will be better.Comment

UL is already flying on the most competitive route which is BKK-HKG for over 15 Years successfully. IMHO UL can make the BKK-ICN success ! As far as I heard , UL is planning to replace the three weekly BKK-PVG with three weekly BKK-ICN. Three weekly PVG is going to be operated as Nonstop.Originally posted by uthum View Post

Guys can anyone confirm on the recent developments on Mihin's Madurai plans. This story has been going on for a while. No progress in that(atleast it seems). Every now and then we are seeing some report like the one posted above.Comment

1. Do somebody have contacts with SriLankan MoCA (Ministry of Civil Aviation) and could confirm whether they applied for flying rights in CMB-IXM sector?
2. Or any contacts in Colombo airport that could confirm whether SpiceJet approached the Airport Director/Controller for filing schedule or slots?
(We confirmed the procedure of an airline procuring flying rights using a media report in the last passage of the report in the below link :

Most routes can be made profitable if a proper fleet management-route structuring-crew paring is studied. Inchon will be a good move with many srilankans migrating for work to Korea. How well UL will handle the route is a "wait and see". On some "previously lucrative routes" UL is now losing money. Fingers crossed and hope for the best! Remember full house does not necessarily mean high yields

Currently the news going around is that UL will get an injection from the treasury. MJ is also latching on to UL for survival..no other choice with the CEO running massive bills on chosen luxuries MJ is also deeply in debt to various organizations. At one time (not sure if its still so) pilots had to carry cash for fuel etc as nobody was giving credit to MJ. In this scenario MJ too needs that injection to get another aircraft. Adding destinations is a good thing provided they have the resources to cope with the expansion of routes.
