There are possibilities, SriLankan flights may be black-listed in Europe if this technical issues happen few more times. By the way, 4R-ADC not flying anymore.
    Is there a farewell ceremony for these birds... do we know when they will leave BIA for ever?

      Errr... this can only be confirmed by someone in UL... is it true that UL A330-300 (4R-ALL) has an issue with the fuel tanks?

            I havn't heard anything about SriLankan leasing more A321s after they leased 1st A321 in Feb 14 and 2nd A321 in Sep 14. Actually SriLankan was planning to replace mid-aged A320s (ABK & ABL) in the current fleet with A321s. I think lease period for 4R-ABL has been extended from Oct 14 : https://www.pehub.com/2014/10/fifth-...t-acquisition/ . Any body know if SriLankan going to bring some more A321s to the fleet?

                    Interesting to know what will happen in the aviation sphere? Will the new regime get rid of Mihin Lanka? They said they will. I can't imagine the new regime keen on an airline whose name is a form of "Mahinda"
                    This could also spell the end on loss-making UL flights through HRI.

                    Does anyone know if the Airbus 350 order and the CMB airport expansion could be impacted in anyway by the change of govt?
                    Interesting times ahread for sure.

                        Im guessing UL management will be changed and Mihin renamed or shut down? Thats my guess, the next few weeks and months will be interesting for sure.

                          Maithri stated that UL and MJ will be merged.

                            Yes! That's the way to go. Merge UL and MJ and merge the staff also if they are qualified enough to the standard of UL staff.

                                I am not sure MJ need to be merge with UL. Why does UL need to carry MJ debt burden. It is preferable to close down.

                                HRI is a disaster. UNP has said they will make that airport a museum.
