    you mean 3K to CMB ? India and Sri Lanka are off their radar, for the time being .. from what I know ..

    if you meant Jetstar's planes, JQ is on course to receive their 787s ..

            Yeah in NZ we have JQ competing with NZ & QF market with cheaper flights... only disadvantage here is they are never on time... even JQ which flies to SIN also goes delayed. But in Sri Lanka as a developing country its a bit difficult as we struggle to keep up the market with our on career itself.

                  With the market all ready filled with Air Asia, Tiger, Mihin, Fly Dubai and varies Indian carriers.... what are the chances that JQ can compete profitably?

                  Hmm.. Personally I prefer not to fly JQ. Even on short haul its plagued with problems associated with the A320s being delayed all the time, but on short notice JQ is considarably cheaper than ANZ. As JQ is now established in Singapore, may be they trying to tap in to the budget market of the region which already have players such as Tiger, Air Asia, Mihin Lanka....etc? Will be interesting to see

                    ha ha IN CMB sure but not in HRI

                    @isuru, you stay and see whatz gonna happen ...

                    ya we are planing to start operation with 3 A-320. Routes ll be SIN, BKK, MEL, DXB, KUL. this ll be 4R registration and base in sri lanka and IATA ll give us Air line code we are not operating as JQ and air line goes as Jet Star Sri Lanka...

                    we are considering all possible routes we can fly and also we are planing to get A-350 for our fleet for Long-haul operation but we are not gonna operate to India and Male coz this routes are not gonna make profits itz full with few airlines.

                      Are you guys actually flying direct to MEL given that you will only have A320s?

                        we are gonna operate to MEL via SIN. And Jetstar Sri Lanka is a join venture with leading sri lankan company and jetstar group so we have different management Jetstar Australia going to get B-787 for Long Haul operation but our plan (Jetstar Sri Lanka) is to buy A-350 XWB for Long Haul operation.

                          Goodnews! Hopefully Jetstar Sri Lanka will get the approval from Sri Lanka Goverment as soon as possible.

                          I heard SriLankan Airlines is also going to start Colombo to Melbourne Nonstop. SriLankan has opened airline office in Melbourne on 21 June 13.

                            Thanks for responding! Didn't think A320s could do SIN-MEL but I suppose you guys must have a plan around that. Anyway hope you guys will get approval soon! Would be very good for SL Aviation!

                                Bangladeshi High Commissioner in Colombo Mohammed Sufiur Rahman told media -

                                "We are thinking of signing a [Memorandum of Understanding] MoU," he said. "It is very important. Also, the Bangladeshi national carrier will start flight operations to Colombo soon"
