      SriLankan Airlines Fleet
      http://www.airsrilanka.org/flights/fleet.htm
      Is there a way we can find out the utilisation of each aircraft in fleet. I guess before we think of getting new aircrafts and expanding fleet it is important to see how much aircrafts are given the run of the mill

        Peter Hill to leave SriLankan for Fiji Airways

        Former SriLankan Airlines CEO Peter Hill, who rejoined the national carrier in an advisory capacity this February, will be leaving his position to head Fiji Airways.

        “Yes, he’s leaving because he was offered this position,” SriLankan Airlines Chairman Ajith Dias said.
        Hill was the CEO of SriLankan from 1999 during its management by Emirates. However, his work visa was revoked in 2007, when he had refused to let former President Mahinda Rajapaksa and 35 close associates have seats on a fully booked flight from London to return from a private tour.

        Since then, he had acted as the CEO of Oman Air until end of 2011, when he retired.
        Hill has over 40 years of experience in the industry, with his beginnings in British Airways and Gulf Air prior to playing a major role in building Emirates to what it is today. - See more at: http://www.dailymirror.lk/70043/pete....MZCo3KUD.dpuf

          Fiji Airways has dismissed the online article published by UK tabloid the Daily Mirror stating that Peter Hill has left the SriLankan Airlines to head Fiji national airline.

          But It's not a good news for UL if Peter Hill thinking to leave the position of consultant at UL. Why UL didn't re-appoint him as a CEO? UL seriously needs to appoint new CEO with an excellent experience of running an international airline. Can anyone list the improvements and issues within UL since M. Sirisena takeover the Sri Lanka Gov as a President.

            There is no better solution than appointing Mr Hill as CEO of our bloke National Airline.

            We should write this to Mr President and the Aviation Minisiter.

            Banu - Why dont you prepare something and We all will sign for it.

              That seems a good idea. As aviation lovers want to see our national airline prosper and go to great heights.

                SriLankan Airlines launches knowledge management system

                SriLankan Airlines, in a ground breaking initiative has introduced a knowledge management system, one of the first in the corporate sector in Sri Lanka; branded as yoULink themed 'connect, collaborate, share and learn'.

                yoULink is a knowledge portal, a type of knowledge management system that strives to provide a 'one-stop knowledge shop', which is a single point of access to the knowledge available in an organization (or even beyond), reused in such a way that it is useful and applicable for a knowledge-seeking user.

                The introduction of this knowledge management system aims to provide all employees an equal chance to be heard, share their thoughts, ideas and experiences, which will not only motivate the employees but also make them feel that they are contributing to make a change.

But this A319 still been parked in the CMB's remote apron and not yet started flying. What a waste keeping the aircraft on the ground while paying the lease bills to the leasing company (ALC). Any news on merger of UL & MJ? Gov has to think about part-privatise the UL to some foreign airline (QR, EY..)

                      Surprised he wasn't appointed CEO considering his current availability. After all the government has appointed other CEOs of government institutions without missing a beat.

                      Also I thought the government was meant to be looking for a new CEO of UL with international airline experience.

                        even if he was offered, having learnt the hard way how difficult it is to manage people of UL who are very entrenched and not willing to accept any change, I am sure he would have felt being in that seat is going to be extremely stressful

                        Added to the fact that should MR get his control on the nation back, it will be very miserable. History repeats itself, if not learnt

                          As 4R-ABM back in service since yesterday it's been used on flights for Mumbai and Kochi. Before sent for maintanance, 4R-ABM mainly placed to serve far east destinations like Singapore and Kuala Lumpur with the seat config of 20J/120Y. May be UL has re-configured this aircraft to use it on Indian market where they have more demand for economy class. @Sakith - Do you know what is the new seat config of 4R-ABM? Are they planning to reconfigure rest of the new A320s (ABN, ABO, ABP) in the fleet? Any plans only using A332/A333s to Singapore and Kuala Lumpur? I feel UL fleet is currently under utilised so Flight Planner department has to re-plan the flight scedules to fully utilise the current fleet also to utilise the brand new A333s mainly on the high-yield routes. Guys, Any suggestions?

                          I feel UL aircraft fleet is in the good shape after the retirement of ageing three A340-311s. Thanks to Thaksa for taking the picture below. Click on the picture to view in original size.
