So what exactly is going on with SriLankan's flights to Melbourne? I've heard some people say that it is going to be called off, and something about SriLankan saying now isn't the right time to start the route. But according to both BIA and Melbourne Tullamarine's Wikipedia pages, the route is still due to start on November 2 of this year. Does anyone have any confirmation as to whether this route is still going, or whether it has been called off?Comment

For a moment I thought EK was uplifting less fuel from DBXOriginally posted by banuthev View Post
I will post some pictures of Lufthansa/Macro Asia-MNL, and the amount of work they are doing, including an A 380 (can't see who's it is), a LH 340-600, A VS 330, and more and more, all being flown all the way across the world.Comment

Both your sources are not what I consider reliable information.Originally posted by sfernando34 View Post
Look at the losses, the projected future losses, the integration of Mihin Lanka (more losses
), the complete lack of accountability and I think you have your answer....
The current situation is not sustainable.
The rumours I am hearing:-
- A350 will be cancelled as there is no money to pay for them.
- All European routes cancelled (except London because they have to operate this route).
Nothing further officially until after the election.Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this businessComment

Well i hope the rumors about the A350 are not true but i guess the no money part is true, at least if they can get 1 or 2 planes would be great. Don't know about the other European routes but LHR seems to be doing pretty wellOriginally posted by ejanson65 View PostBoth your sources are not what I consider reliable information.

Doubt its worth cancelling the A350s as the likely penalties to be paid to Airbus for cancellation will be more than the cost savings from cancelling the aircraft. Its all good to wan't to save money but it has to be done logically.Originally posted by ejanson65 View PostBoth your sources are not what I consider reliable information.

Cancelling all loss making European routes sans LHR makes sense. They tried to do this even during MR's time but external influences kept them from axing these prestige routes (Eg: Malcolm Ranjit getting FCO re-started).Originally posted by lordvader View Post
If UL does not have these routes, then there is no need for them to have the long legs of A350. All their regional and East Asian routes can be sufficiently covered by A332 and A333. For LHR, they could upgrade two of the upcoming A333s to the 242 tonne MTOW with extra fuel tanks.
This will also free up some metal to have a go at MEL and SYD on experimental basis.Comment

UL does not need A350-900XWB. Current route and business profile does not justify it. Yes UL should continue to operate to Europe. A333 and A332 can do the job. LHR is definite. Italy SL has a large migrant community. Hi AirCeylon, what is your view on FCO and MXP.Originally posted by lordvader View PostComment
