as i have heard the new 330 have no center fuel tank and the pay load which can carry is lower. it easily get restricted and can't get full revenue from it as i hope. Don't know why they decided to get this kind of aircraft instead of a one with which can get maximum usage.

Btw Air India has increased the MAA-CMB flights from 6 to 7 weekly. Any possibilities Jet Airways resuming flights to Colombo from Chennai?

When I flew this route it was normally planned as a re-dispatched flight.
Flight was filed as CMB-LHR. Paper Flightplan was CMB-FRA with an extra section from waypoint SUBES to LHR.
If we had enough fuel at SUBES we would continue on to London. Otherwise we would need to divert to Frankfurt.
Re-dispatch saved about 1200kg in contingency fuel - allowing a higher payload.
This flight was frequently too heavy to re-dispatch eastbound (it would be above max landing weight if it diverted to Bangalore).Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this business

SriLankan Airlines and the Airline's Aircraft Technicians' Association (SAATA) signed a collective agreement recently for a period of three years. The agreement recognizes the importance of enhancing productivity when the national carrier is stepping into a new era of world travel with its extensive wide-body fleet renewal programme, initiated last month. At a time when the Airline is aiming at improving its operational efficiencies, services and product offering to provide a more luxurious travel experience to its passengers, the Agreement recognizes the importance of enhancing productivity and appreciates the efforts extended by Aircraft Technicians towards taking the Airline forward. SriLankan Airlines perceives this agreement as a symbolic gesture that signifies the unwavering bond that the Management has forged with its workforce which will progressively contribute to the company's future expansion plans and while motivating all employee groups to work towards the Management's slogan, " Working together and winning together."

The Return flights are departing on Wednesdays and Saturdays from Colombo 07:30 (UN9542) and landing in Demodedovo 16:40 on the same day. I heard last winter Transaero flew some charters to Colombo as well as Mattala.

I have operated A330-200 CMB-LHR-CMB. This was always payload restricted and cargo was continually left behind. UL lost a lot of cargo contracts in London as a result. London used to be A340 only.Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this business
