National carrier Sri Lankan is investigating the circumstances under which a London bound flight rapidly lost altitude causing panic among passengers as well as the crew on Wednesday afternoon.

Sources alleged that the aircraft had nosedived from about 35,000 feet to about 10,000 before the Captain of UL 503 managed to regain control of the craft which took off from the Bandaranaike International Airport in the afternoon.

The flight returned to the BIA where passengers were told that a cracked window pane may have resulted in the flight losing control.

The same flight took off at 2.30 am yesterday after having replaced the damaged window pane. In spite of reservations, passengers had no option but to take the flight to London.

The Sri Lankan is investigating possible lapses on the part of its staff.

read the above link which clarifies about the media interpretation about LHR bound flight

the newspaper report is wrong apparently according to UL sources becz UL says that it is the aviation standard procedure to reduce altitude due to the nature of the incident that actually happened.

According to skyliner - aviation news, Srilankan airlines to get ex-QR A321. Aircraft Reg: A7-ADX. MSN3397.

is this confirmed ??

A7-ADX. MSN3397 is still in service with QR

Anybody know which a/c faced with this incident? ALH?

I was at CMB airport on the 2nd Jan early morning and saw that there was a LHR bound flight at the gate next to us and noticed a significant delay on the FIDS, later on I then noticed on Flight radar there was a UL503D and a UL 503 a few hours apart flying over Europe. Not sure of the rego, but im pretty sure the a/c in question was A340

We will be aquiring 3 321 frm qr.
Dates not yet cnfirmed

when i checked flight radar24, it was stated to be 4R-ALH

seriously?? will it feature UL interiors or QR interiors and will it have AVOD??
