i dont think reducing china is a good idea. because we have more traffic from china, most of them tourists or transits to MLE.. may be they are going to start ul 505 again. it has big crowd to north america.. -
Yes UL505 must be operating to cater Tourists who want to escape from Northern Winter but this flight may stop operating after BA re-instate CMB in March 2013. Otherwise UL is no-longer rely on LHR for North American connection which can be done via CDG and FRA easily.Originally posted by Sakith View PostComment

It is a charter operating until March 2013. Winter 2012 Flight Information is now available on our web. @ Kenkari - Do you know if there is any european charter flights are operating to CMB this winter ?Originally posted by Highflyer View Post
UL de-linked the KUL-SIN route in early part of 2012, since then UL is flying double daily terminator flights to KUL and SIN. Recently UL upgraded four out of 14 KUL flights with A332/A343 replacing A320 for the increased pax-demand. But UL still flying to SIN with A320 equipment.Originally posted by ecureilx View PostComment

SriLankan continues to mull over A340s replacement ... not decided on a replacement for its fleet of Airbus A340-300s and the carrier hopes to make a decision next year... (flightglobal)Comment

Any idea what UL is looking at? Theyre taking a while to make a decision. In which time all the delivery slots will be taken for a whileOriginally posted by Highflyer View PostComment

They are taking way too long to make the decision, just like any other crony saddled government establishment.Originally posted by lordvader View Post
It is not rocket science. They only have the following options:
A330-300
B777-200ER
B777-300ER
And if you are thinking medium term, it really is a race betwee A330-300 and B777-300ER.
Of course their incredible incompetancy might produce some surprising results though.Comment

SriLankan is evaluating offers from Boeing and Airbus to modernize its long haul fleet. Both manufacturers have been asked for proposals involving leases of new aircraft combined with a plan to take back or re-sell three ageing A340 aircraft.Originally posted by Speedbird View PostPlease don't wish they GoSL has a $100 million credit line from Russia; They will think about IL96M or TU204/214 saying if Russian president can travel then whats wrong with them
Chairman Nishantha Wickremasinghe said quotes from both firms are being evaluated and a decision may be announced as early as in two months.
"If are going for Boeing we like to have adequate numbers to service it," Wickremasinghe said. "You can't have one or two. (It will be) either four or six."
SriLankan Airline aircrew is now trained for Airbus aircraft.
A new type means fresh training for flight crews, technicians and investments in spares.
The state has committed 500 million dollars in taxpayer money as equity to fix the airline over the next five years for the airline which has posted a string of losses. The government will also give sovereign guarantees for the airline to borrow.
The first 100 million dollars cash injection is expected in 2012 after next year's budget is passed by parliament.

SriLankan Airlines chairman Nishantha Wickremasinghe said the supplier of its new long haul fleet will also have to arrange the sale of "three or four" of its older A340 aircraft. The airline was looking at acquiring Boeing 777 aircraft.
"I sent a letter to them last week, indicating them to offer some aircraft and swap with our aircraft," Wickremasinghe said.
"If Boeing can arrange for somebody to buy the ageing aircraft cost-wise it will be cheaper.
"We have told the same thing to Airbus. I have ageing Airbuses that I want to replace with a younger fleet of aircraft."
