    Buddy normaly for cabin crew the minimum rest period is 12 hours.. within 12 hours they can operate a flight... Since the flight is about 10 hours the crew will get a layover in CMB. It maybe 12 hours, 24 hours 36 hours or 48 hours.. it varies.. but for the crew they will get a small rest period during flight since it's a long flight.. maybe 13 to 14 crew might be on this flight.. so at once about 5 crew members will rest for abt 3 hours.. then after their rest is over another 5 will go for rest..and when they land in CMB they will get a layover 😊
    Thanks something I had not considered or known . They say you never stop learning

      I doubt any technical issue on 4R-ADA. Because most of the other flights to Riyadh also have been delayed yesterday and today, not sure why? Please check this link : http://www.riyadh-airport.com/arrivals.php . UL266 delayed until 17:10 today arrival at Colombo.
      Delays may be due to a sandstorm...

            This picture was taken when 4R-ADA in Doha during sand storms while was dirverted during flight CMB-RUH on the 2-3-2015. Thanks to Sakith & umedhah for sharing the pic. Finally 4R-ADA came back to Colombo from Doha/Riyadh as UL266D.



            Is it confirmed 4R-ADA going to retire from April 2015 ? 4R-ADA replacement aircraft 4R-ALN will be flying the first revenue service to London (Heathrow) route on 5-Apr 2015.

                Although I love those A340's, a four engined aircraft has higher fuel costs.
                But, I would love to spot Srilankan 340-600's :-)

                Kind regards,
                Yves

                Kind Regards

                  Has Sri Lanka found a oil reserve recently that would enable them to get fuel cheap? If not why would UL want TG A346.. which are being taken off fleet for obvious reasons i.e. high operational cost?

                      Ummm! There is something wrong in the news. Actually Shanghai bound SriLankan flight (UL866) was delayed today by three hours due to hydraulic leak in the aircraft. Any idea about the rego ? My guess is 4R-ALH?

                          Bad news : Flydubai to cancel the flights to Mattala from 30 Apr 2015.
                          Good news : Emir of Qatar expressed his desire to take the Mattala International Airport on lease. Mattala Airport is a Chinese funded project. It operates at a loss as no aircraft lands at that airport. It is learnt that the State of Qatar has agreed to take it on lease in a manner that Sri Lanka would not incur loss” : http://www.slguardian.org/?p=27389

                            • MJ's booking system shows that the inaugural flight to CCU will be on 17th June, as opposed to 15th June.
                              I've booked my Dad on the inaugural flight, equipment is an A321.
