    Today I saw when 4R-ALO was landing 18 minutes late at LHR. Good to see UL is regularly sending these brand new A333s to LHR but I didn't get why they are deploying these brand new birds to low-yield destinations like CAN, RUH, JED. Sorry for the picture quality.

    • Austrian Airways to begin direct flights here

      Austrian Airways has made arrangements to operate a direct weekly flight to Sri Lanka from October 27 this year, said Civil Aviation Authority Director General H. M. C. Nimalsiri.

      "This is a result of bilateral talks between the Civil Aviation Authorities of Austria and Sri Lanka at Bali Island Indonesia in November 2014," he said.

      He said this will greatly help boost Sri Lanka's tourist industry since most Austrian tourists prefer to spend their holidays around beaches in coastal areas as well to view beauties of nature in the countries they visited.

      He said the country has earned Rs. 13.6 billion by handling foreign airline traffic operating through the Katunayake Bandaranaike International Airport.

        4R-ALO is scheduled as UL 454 today 26th to NRT

                      Why do they operate 2 flights to Guangzhou around the same time on the same day?

                        Incorrect, they operate Colombo - Bangkok - Guangzhou on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays & Sundays, while they operate non-stop Colombo - Guangzhou on Mondays, Thursdays & Saturdays, making Colombo - Guangzhou daily as a result.

                          x = except days
                          e.g. x146 means flight operating except Mon, Thu & Sat

                          I feel SriLankan could be able to expand more flights if they've properly planned the flight schedule and fleet-utilization.
