Ok, Mea culpa! It appears that SkyTrax manages Passenger Choice Awards.

Thai AirAsia Cancels Bangkok – Colombo Service from Oct 2012. Thai AirAsia starting 01OCT12 is cancelling Bangkok – Colombo service, as reservation for the three weekly flights is closed for travel on/after this date. The airline reduced service on this route from daily to 3 weekly in June 2012. http://airlineroute.net/2012/09/21/fd-bkkcmb-oct12cxld/Comment

It's a Fantastic news for SriLankan for winning Apex 2012 Award! http://www.etravelblackboardasia.com...ion-apex-awardOriginally posted by Kflyer View Post
Uthum, I believe FD and TG were finding difficult to compete with UL who is doing well on CMB-BKK route by operating 21 flights a week, while CX, TG & FD operates with less than 4 flights a week. UL also giving tough competition to KU on a CMB-KWI route (UL flying Daily Nonstop to KWI on A343s). In Early September KU planned to reduce the CMB frequency from 4 to 3 weekly in W12 but now Rumour says KU is planning to terminate all the CMB flights.Originally posted by uthum View PostComment

I would assume Air India is want to train the pilots/crews on B787 on short/medium sectors before they go for long hauls. However Air India B787 would not touch down in CMB this time because Air India does not operate schedule flights on DEL-CMB sector.Originally posted by Max View Post
Praetorian, Yes, 4R-ALJ is being used for PEK, PVG, CAN & HKG via BKK.Originally posted by Praetorian View PostJust discovered that BKK-HKK is one of the busiest routes in the world. (Sure most of you know this already, but it's news to me
)
Can 4R-ALJ do the CMB-BKK-HKK sector? I know that it's lacking a galley so can't do long haul routes, but a "re-fill" at BKK should solve the problem? This sector (and onto mainland China, Korea and Japan) is very busy and very profitable. If UL is to tap into this sector and reel in the passengers, and the profit, they need to have the best product they can give. With most of the A340s & A330s being "out dated" it's not good.
Any news regarding possible upgrades for 4R-ALH & ALGs economy cabins? As they have no IFE at all. Surprised UL aquired these aircraft and did not bother giving economy IFE systems, any reasons?
UL needs good consistency throughout the fleet. Only the hop to Maldives from CMB can a lack of IFE be deemed alright.
Great news to hear fully-refurbished 4R-ALJ has operated it's maiden long-haul-revenue flight between CMB and NRT as nonstop on 22/23-Sep-12. It appears to be UL-Engineering must have resolved the problem of this aircraft's lacking a galley. Hopefully 4R-ALJ start flying the long-hauls where UL seriously needed a suitable aircraft not like ageing A340-311s. It's a time for UL to start refurbishing the Y-Class on remaining A330s that pull the long-hauls. But A340-311/313Xs are not necessary to be upgraded to the new seating and cabin in Y-Class due to the impending retirement of those planes.Comment

SQ used to sub the A345, regularly, for SIN-CGK, as revenue flights ...Originally posted by Banuthev View Post
Though for A380, they did do a few twice daily SIN-KUL, as touch and go / land and go .. non-revenue flights, for crew familiarization - including the full cabin crew ..
TG is launching BKK-SIN-BKK flights, soon, on A380, maybe for the above reason .. but as revenue flights ..Comment
