London bound UL flight nosedives
Plunges to 10,000 feet from 35,000

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.

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 A340Comment

On the 1 Jan 14, A7-ADX withdrawn from QR service and ferried to Eirtech Paintshop in Ostrava, prior delivery to SriLankan Airlines. Looking forward to see A321 in SriLankan livery ;o) . BTW I have requested plane spotters to share the pictures of SriLankan A321 in this forum.Originally posted by umedhah View Post
I think SriLankan acquiring 3 A321s to replace A343s (ADA,ADB,ADC) which are going to be removed from SriLankan fleet in next few months. Any idea what aircraft reg these UL A321s to get?Originally posted by Sakith View PostComment
