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.

According to ATDB Fleet Database, SriLankan's first A330-343E going to become as 4R-ALL (msn 1564). Delivery of the first aircraft planned in October 2014 and this new bird due to replace 4R-ADA, SriLankan's first A340-311.Originally posted by Haleef View PostComment

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!Originally posted by Haleef View PostComment

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.Comment
