Oh that's bad. How did the child got injured in the plane? Normally the flights between Indonsia and Saudia are flying above Colombo and they have done emergency landing few times in CMB. On the other hand GA flew schedule flights on CGK - Saudia via CMB using DC10s in 1980s if iam not mistaken. Any possibilities GA resuming those flights to CMB once again. But Mihin Lanka is doing some important role in bringing passengers from both Medan and Jakarta over to CMB for transitting Saudi flights. I think SL Gov should close the MJ and UL has to start the subsidery on the name of SriLankan Express to serve routes like CGK SHJ etç.. -
As I said earlier, this is a very bad idea. It will immediately dilute the UL Brand.Originally posted by banuthev View Post
When FZ was being set up, it was considered to be named 'Emirates Express' or 'Emirates Regional' or something with "Emirates" in the name. But the experts unanimously agreed that it will significantly dilute the EK brand.
Even though such a name linked to EK would have propelled FZ in to immediate limelight, they (correctly) decided to name it FlyDubai and allowed it to earn its own reputation.Comment

Naming Mihin Lanka as Sri Lankan express is not an good idea, . Fly Colombo is the most suitable name if they are going to rebranding mihin air.Originally posted by Srilankan1 View PostComment

What is the status of UL's CMB-DME route? Has it been changed to a seasonal route? I cannot find it anywhere on FR24, Flightaware etc... and UL's online flight schedule has no mention of flights to Moscow-Domodedovo as of August 1. I haven't read anything about the route being terminated or switched. What is going on?Comment

Thank you Calgary and Cayman. That makes sense now. I suppose it would be a pain to gain that certification just to fly the plane in once a year. I wonder how they deal with the President's security while he is aboard commercial flights like that.Originally posted by CalgaryLankan View PostComment
