Originally posted by Banuthev View PostMihin Lanka used to operate on B737 in the past but that was a wet-leased aircraft (ACMI). As umedhah said earlier, Mihin Lanka doesn't have the capt/crew who have got experience on Boeing B737, if I am not mistaken. I heard Mihin Lanka has plans to transfer 4R-MRC (A321), 4R-MRD (A321) and 4R-MRE (A320) to SriLankan Airlines. A321 is a good choice for SriLankan Airlines though!

The sensible thing to do would be to transfer the MJ aircraft to UL and close the shop. One hemorrhaging airline is enough!

Originally posted by Cayman View PostActually the current trend in the Middle East and Asia is to promote frequency, hence the use of smaller aircrafts with daily frequency rather than wide bodies operating 2-3 times a week. This is a sign of a maturing traveler base whose lifestyle is becoming more sophisticated.
Gone are the days when people made travel decisions months in advance (even for VFR) and stuck with those plans. Now the decisions are made impromptu and dates change as they go by, hence the need for daily flights.
We saw this fragmentation taking place in the US in the late 80s and early 90 resulting in their domestic operations (including transcon) almost completely taken over by the narrow bodies and regional jets / props.

Not sure if this is discussed here before; but Tiger is pulling out of CMB in end of Aug as per airlineroute. net.
Routes is the home of the world’s leading aviation network development conferences and events. Plus aviation news and features, and profiles of global airlines and airports.
Also same website reporting Gan - CMB service by Maldivian which was mentioned here before.

BTW, TR did confirm the SIN-CMB route is too crowded, thanks to EK, UL (with it's massively undercut prices), CX, etc for the low end / Y class, and SQ crowding the upper end - a market which TR doesn't compete anyway ..
