Emirates won't bail out Qantas: Clark
Dubai’s Emirates Airline has reportedly ruled out any financial bailout of its Australian alliance partner Qantas, which is appealing for its foreign ownership limit to be raised after recording huge losses.
But even if Qantas’ plea is successful, Emirates president Tim Clark told the Australian newspaper West Australian, he would not buy into the airline.
Clark said he "would watch [the situation] carefully" but Emirates did not have the "bottomless pit of cash" Virgin Australia's partner Etihad Airways had.
"So no, equity is not on the table,'' Clark said.
Last month Clark said "Emirates business model did not involve equity stakes in other airlines".
“If you then get involved in management of other entities, it does take your eye off the ball,” he said.

All A332 have new business class seats except for 4R-ALG which has the old BMI Business Class. Probably because the old BMI Seats has 18J like all other Srilankan A332, they might not need to be refurbished as they can lie almost flat as well.Originally posted by lordvader View PostComment

LOL thats what I thought it said, thanks for the clarification. Wouldn't be a bad thing if it happened, although as Max said that site is somewhat dubious.Originally posted by Speedbird View Post
Thanks for the info. IMHO I think they should rip up the seating from the refurbed A343s and replace the seating in ALG to make all A332 seating consistent.Originally posted by janhongladarom View PostComment

What about the 4R-ALD?Originally posted by janhongladarom View Post
If its J cabin didn't get refurbished, it's still flying with the old cradle style J cabin.Comment

Looks like a reupholstered ex BMI seat. Can you confirm this AviatorSN? And BTW welcome to the forum!Originally posted by janhongladarom View PostSriLankan Latest Business Class onboard 4R-ALG.
If its a reupholstered ex BMI seat, then yes UL should replace these seats with the newer business class seats from their A343 fleet (as they're phased out).Comment

It's not quite that simple. Installing new seats requires the installation of a lot of new hardware - including various computers and a lot of wiring.Originally posted by lordvader View Post
This costs serious $$. The Weliamuna report details the current financial state of UL.
There may also be an issue where the leasing company may not allow any changes to the aircraft configuration - especially true if this aircraft is part of an identically configured fleet.Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this businessComment

SriLankan's fourth brand new A330-343E, 4R-ALO (MSN 1650) has came out with a test registration F-WWYO after completing most of it's body-assembly. In TLS, it has now been parked without any engines, wearing just a primer in fuselage and SriLankan tail C/S.Comment

4R-ALD has been reconfigured both in J and Y Class. They now have 18J from 12J and have new economy class seats. So 4R-ALG is the only A332 in Srilankan with old Y and J Class respectively.Originally posted by AviatorSN View PostComment

I guess it will take a crash before any action is taken - with the way things are being run that's just a matter of time imho.
