      • UL's 2013-2014 Annual Report is out now:



        Also this article indicates UL may go for Thales IFE on its A333s (would've preferred Panasonic but Thales also looks good):

          Why do you think Lahore is a better destination than Karachi? For your info - airline like EK expanding more service to Karachi even after the bomp incident.

                  Surprised CMB was not explored by Airblue and Shaheen after PIA pulled out.

                      In my opinion SriLankan Airlines is doing a vital role by serving Karachi after the termination of Far East & Orient carriers like Cathay Pacific, Malaysian and Singapore Airlines. There are not many direct flights available between Karachi and Far East as PIA serving only once a week flight to Kuala Lumpur. So far passengers from Karachi they needs to take SriLankan or Thai Airways to reach the Far East Destinations. But the issue is SriLankan is paying high-insurance for serving Karachi due to security issues in the city.

                      Lahore is a profitable destination as it has good demand for cargo and passenger. I can see above Mihin's Lahore flight timings have been well-planned to connect Lahore and Far East Flights via Colombo. If I can recall it correctly, SriLankan Airlines used to plan to fly Lahore via Delhi but it never been materialised for some reason. Hope they will increase the frequency of flights to Lahore in near future.

                          How did you find out ? I am wondering why Mihin is cancelling the Madurai flights in October. Is it because of the security issues in Madurai and Trichy as they were breaking the Sri Lanka's travel agents.

                            We r already talking to Thales to configure their service framework to build 3rd party applications to run on the Thales Avionics. Initially 6 aircrafts (the new ones to be purchased over next 6 months) will have Thales. Later on it will replace RAVE which is used on board the rest of the fleet. Very exciting this.

                              Quote from the UL Report regarding IFE and Business Class Seats in the upcoming fleet

                              The expected fleet renewal heralds exciting times for both airline and passenger.
                              With new aircraft comes a new Business Class product featuring industry leading Zodiac Cirrus lie-flat suites, which offer 6’ 5” lie-flat seats/beds arranged in reverse herringbone configuration, providing every passenger with direct aisle access.

                              The Inflight entertainment experience will also see significant improvement with large screen systems in both Economy and Business classes. In seat power outlets, noise cancelling headsets for all passengers and cellular data links supporting SMS and e-mail services are also on the cards.

                                Normally they swap planes in the paint-shop at Chateauroux, so 23sep14 nack to Toulouse I would think. An A330 needs about eight working days for paint, it is bigger than an A320 and Chateauroux has not the most modern facilities.
