      I read on A.Net that UL may fly 1 weekly CMB-ZRH and 1 weekly CMB-ZRH-MLE-CMB using A332s, from the 23-Dec-2011. These flights are likely to be operated on partnership with Swiss Tour Operator. I am guessing that Tour Operator could be Edelweiss Holidays, which is also to resume the direct flights to CMB in 1st Nov 2011. However UL's ZRH launch has not been fully confirmed yet.

      But I thought SGN is the best for MJ as its a busy airport handing around total capacity of 15-17 million passengers per annum. But HAN isnt. Any particular reason why MJ should fly to HAN ? Please advise ?

      Good news ! Sri Lanka is on bileteral negotiations with the India Aviation Secretaries to increase MAA flights from 15 to 40 weekly (5/6 flights a day) and DEL flights from 7 to 14 weekly. I believe upcoming new-A320s mainly to be used for India flights.

        How about Sri Lanka Iran flights?

        I think a cargo air service active between both countries

          An A320 can do CMB-MNL nonstop with just a slight penalty. No big issue. But I don't see them operating to MNL anytime soon.

            Cannot be Edelweiss. Edelweiss in turn is owned by SWISS. Nor is it a "large tour operator". ZRH launch will go ahead, barring any unavoidable issues. ZRH will likely operate with 332s, however it does not mean that 320s will not operate to Europe. I do not wish to share an airline's plans prior to they are actively put in place. Not that I know many internal news anyway.

                          Currently UL flies 5 weekly to KHI, So how many more flights are to be added ?
                          Any possibilities UL or MJ would fly Lahore ?

                            None AFAIK. ADG due in June. Air Astana is considering CMB

                              6th flight will become operational, if the current passenger level increasing, KHI route doing fine.

                              I don’t think we will have Lahore flights due to lack of passengers.
