Good to see Zurich is back and the fact that the article mentions AVOD probably means the refurbishment of the widebodies will be complete by December. Also Ive noted that in the article in the above post, the minister says that more A330s will be ordered. I think $300 million would be over the 12 year lease or so. Either that or someone doesnt have their facts right.
The following page claims UL will have a daily flight into SYD by 2015, although his sources seem to be non existent (and some of his listed routes seem weird): http://www.railpage.com.au/f-p1541756.htmComment

Exactly, there is something seriously wrong with the numbers coming out of UL. This is the second time we heard unrealistically high numbers.Originally posted by LukeSkywalker View PostComment

I think something wrong with pricing. Us$300mil per A320 SQ selling there 772er itself for $90mil we can purchase 10 of them for the price we paid to A320 ......PPL WAKEUPComment

Maybe it was $300m for all 3 A320s ($100m per A320) which was misrepresented in the press? Being a lease, the cost will be a tad higher than an outright purchase. Either that or someone is getting ripped off with their aircraft. Does anyone have any inside contacts within UL they could verify this info with?Originally posted by Azamh View PostComment

I think you are right. Banu's doc lists A320 at 85M and including the cost of lease and kick backs 100M sounds reasonable. I thought the Island was a better newspaper!Comment

In reality a/c are sold at much lower values than the list prices. The leases for the 320s are all operating leases, not capital leases ( as in leasing a road vehicle where at the end you become the owner ), hence there is no way that they will cost $100m. What I know is that, UL never releases financial numbers of a/c deals to the media. Hence it's probably that the media jumbled LKR and USD or somebody provided a fake number.Originally posted by lordvader View PostThe opinions above are solely my own and do not reflect those of my employer or clientsComment

Kflyer,
You are right, I was giving the benefit of the doubt to the author of the report. It is well known in the industry that carriers that place bulk orders (like EK and SQ) get as much as 40%-45% off the list, depending on how the deals are structured. I would assume an order for 3 aircrafts would attract at least 25% discount off the list.Comment

Probably no discounts for UL. As far as I know, the orders had already been placed by ALC. UL simply leased them from ALC.Originally posted by Cayman View PostThe opinions above are solely my own and do not reflect those of my employer or clientsComment

Good decision, itll be interesting to see if the shops get upgrades (and whether the concession will cover the new/future terminal as well). BTW does anyone have news on whether UL will be ordering widebodies soon?Flemingo and Aldeasa set to split the duty free spoils in Colombo

Dailynews says, Starting with December 1, 2011, SriLankan will add three more flights a week to BOM and one more to both MAA and BLR. It appears to be one more daily to be added to both MAA and BLR.
