Funny - UL's time table CMB to PEK is showing Mattala and BKK as technical stops. To my knowledge, technical stops are mainly for fuel (and in some cases crew change).

Hello guys - I have a choice to select the following options on my return trip from SL this summer;
CMB - BKK - PEK on TG (TG Smile 320 & TG's old 747)
or
CMB - HRI - BKK - PEK (UL - 340)
Both seems to same price range - Y Class. Any recommendations based on your recent trips?Comment

Mihin Lanka to acquire new aircraft in 2015?
Mihin Lanka plans to acquire two Boeing 737-900ER aircraft to replace their current Airbus A321 aircraft.
The airline is considering of leasing a few Boeing 777-200ER aircraft for commencing long haul operations.

Any source besides Wikipedia? Bad news if true. MJ should take a few more A320s and fly to secondary cities in countries such as India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, China and Myanmar. 777s and 737s would add expenditure that MJ can ill afford at this point.Originally posted by Aaqib View PostComment

This is sheer insanity, if true.Originally posted by Aaqib View Post
First of all, Mihin should be dissolved and their operations should be absorbed in to that of UL's.
Secondly, why on earth do they want to acquire Boeing aircraft when UL is fully equipped to maintain Airbuses?
(I have nothing against Boeing, and they are fantastic aircraft, but for Mihin, it does not make sense at all to re-invent the wheel)
Thirdly, long-haul operations? They really should be smoking some serious hallucinogens

I guess the management simply doesn't understand what their doingOriginally posted by 4R-ALA View Post but apparently the say they can cover the cost of the Boeing Aircraft
Caption from the Daily News Article:-
He said that although there will be an additional cost for upgrading the ‘Boeings’, they can be able to cover this cost. “The new Boeings will give a better fuel consumption and its operation costs too will be low,” he added. - See more at: http://www.dailynews.lk/business/mih....bJObZN1u.dpufComment

Well, they are actually code-sharing with UL .. traffic from JKT via MJ are dumped to UL ..Originally posted by Aaqib View Post
they are interested because there are a few 777-200 ERs coming in the second hand market .. at attractive lease rates .. why loose it, when you can add in a 5% somewhere ?Originally posted by Cayman View PostThirdly, long-haul operations? They really should be smoking some serious hallucinogens
