    4R-ALJ currently being used for CMB-KWI-CMB-KUL-CMB sector as UL229/30 and UL314/15.

    SriLankan operates daily nonstop flights between KWI and CMB. Kuwait Airways is reducing CMB flights from four to three weekly effective Winter 2012.

          Any news on UL's air taxi operation with 2 twin otters?

          I came to know one will remain in operation for another 6- 9 months and the other will be returned by end of Aug 2012. However I cannot see any official announcement from UL side and timetable for Air Taxi remain unchanged.

            I heard UL to dry-lease of two sea aircraft. Not sure exactly what type of aircraft UL is trying to get and the delivery ?

            Any latest update on SG flying IXM-CMB ?

              Hi all,

              I have been reading this forum over a few months with keen interest and decided to join.

              I have a 2 part question
              1. I am flying from BKK-CMB-BKK on J class in mid Dec & early Jan, what are the chances of experiencing the new J class product?
              2. Any truth to the rumours that UL will start a DEC charter service between CMB-SYD-MEL?

              Thanks!

                One of our senior member Sundar sir has good contact with airport authorities in IXM. He got a news today that SJ is still on the track to start from 1 Sep and booking will be made available from 16 Aug

                  British Airways earmarks Colombo return

                  British Airways is planning to resume flights to Colombo, after pulling out from the Sri Lankan capital some ten years ago.

                  According to Sri Lankan aviation authorities, the UK flag carrier plans to operate thrice-weekly services between London (Gatwick) and Colombo via Male, beginning next March. Currently, the only direct connection between London and Colombo are daily flights operated by SriLankan Airlines.

                  “It’s a very good move. There will be (increased) positivity and confidence when an airline like BA starts flying to Colombo,” said Michael Elias, CEO of Walkers Tours, which represents Kuoni, Virgin Holidays and Thomas Cook in Sri Lanka.

                  Elias added that flying from Gatwick in South London would be a boon, as some of the main outbound travel operators such as Kuoni and Virgin Holidays had offices nearby.

                  Chaminda Dias, executive director, Luxe Asia, said the return of BA would lend credibility to Sri Lanka’s efforts to ramp up tourism development. “It will legitimise the fact that Sri Lanka is normal and ready for tourism,” he said.

                    I think not Heathrow because of direct competition with SriLankan's flights, but good news anyway..

                        BTW this is a very good sign that finally a European mainline carrier is coming back to SL after so many years of absence.

                        Banu, do you have a list of other mainline carriers operated to SL before the war. I know KLM, Lufthansa, Swissair operated but may be you (or someone else) have a better compilation.
