Thanks for the update Kflyer, Ojas, Max …

SriLankan Airlines’s Mumbai flight reduction is surprising me as Sri Lanka already has signed the air-bilateral agreement with India in order to increase more flights to Indian Routes. Perhaps GDS is not showing the UL145/6 flight schedule due to the system glitch or it could be a temporary reduction. As far as I heard, SriLankan Airlines is planning to re-schedule the UL145’s flight schedule to the peak hours Colombo takeoff. On the other hand, the current frequency of UL145/6 are to be increased from 3 to 6 weekly to facilitate the total number of Mumbai service from 10 to 13 weekly in Winter 2011. It seems like more changes are coming in the pipeline for SriLankan Airlines in the Winter 2011. We will need to wait for at least couple of weeks until the schedules loaded fully in GDS.

SriLankan Airlines has made a changes on the Moscow flight timings as per 1-Jul GDS display. Previously UL531 was due to depart Colombo at 07:30 hours now it has changed to 12:00 hours. Moscow Demodedevo departure at redeye hours.

SriLankan, Moscow Demodedevo planned New Flight Schedule, effective 15-September-2011.

UL531 - 12:00 - 15:00 - A320 - CMB-DXB - 4.6
UL531 - 16:00 - 21:10 - A320 - DXB-DME - 4.6

UL532 - 22:30 - 03:30 - A320 - DME-DXB - 4.6
UL532 - 04:30 - 10:30 - A320 - DXB-CMB - 5.7

Just don't see them filling a 777... Weren't all 340/330's sold and leased back? Should be just a case of dumping them back to the leaser when they get new air craft. The story doesn't make much sense at all, but this is coming from LBO who have a tad more credibility than the usual SL media.

If they are talking new aircraft directly with the manufacturers that means they want to order directly or get the manufacturers to finance the deal which also doesn't fit with their late strategy of leasing.

That said, I hope they go for A330-300s...
