    It's a start. 5 years and Billions of Rupees too late unfortunately...

    Will it be independent? How deep will they look into things?

    They can start by talking to the staff and the Unions - they will have plenty to say.

    My concern is that Civil Aviation Minister Priyankara Jayaratne is another government appointee - this may be more toxic Sri Lankan politics.
    Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this business

        Is it for flight operations out of Sri Lanka? I thought it's for Lion Air in Indonesia as this bird delivered at Jakarta Airport.

                      I don't think so ! Because that's not the logo Lion Air, Sri Lanka has.. Besides all of a sudden why did they think of buying a 737 ? They didn't operate for a long time noh ?

                      And this logo belongs to Lion air Indonesia and the Sri Lankan Lion Air logo is this.. See below.

                          It will be better if Lion Group open a subsidery in Sri Lanka as they already operate subsideries in Indonesia and Thailand. Lion Air currently has a fleet comprise of over 100 aircrafts and they have plans to increase their route network and fleet size in near future. Perhaps they can connect Far East and Gulf via Mattala using B737-800s. In my opinion, SriLankan has to operate out of only Colombo and it doesn't makes sense SriLankan flying routes out of Mattala e.g. CMB-BKK-HRI-CMB, CMB-HRI-MLE, CMB-MAA-HRI-CMB etc.. SriLankan has to provide nonstop flights to their destinations out of Colombo. What's the point Mihin Lanka providing business class product for low-cost destinations which were previously served by SriLankan then transfered to Mihin Lanka. Routes like Seychelles should be served by SriLankan and Mihin Lanka simply should shut!

                                Guys, Any idea how long does it takes to build Airbus A330-343E? Wondering when will they start building our first A333 :-)

                                As per Airlinereporter, to build a Boeing 777 takes approx three months.

                                B777
                                From first part to out of the Boeing factory in Everett: 49 days
                                Time in the paint booth: 4 additional days
                                Flights and testing: About 30 additional days
                                Total from first part to delivery: About 83 days — less than three months.
