Between DXB and CMB:
FZ has THREE B738 flights a day.
EK currently has 25 weekly flights mostly on B77W, which will soon increase to 28 (4 daily flights!).
In contrast,
UL has ONE daily flight to DXB mostly on a narrow body.
Why?

Why?
Over the few years Uae based air carriers had taken advantage of Cmb route where now Ek is operating 27 weekly from Dxb, FZ is operating 21 weekly from Dxb, Ey is operating double daily from Auh, Rg is operating three weekly from Auh and finally G9 is operating 11 weekly from Shj but G9 has plans to increase Cmb flights from 11 weekly to double daily effect Dec 2015.
UL mix the equipments to DXB I think most of the time UL has less pax loads on Cmb-dxb.
Any chance Ek increasing more flights to Cmb? Is it good for Sri Lanka if Ek expand the service?

UL load factors are low on this sector since they have only one daily flight and that flight has low on-time performance.
EK is the de-facto national carrier of India, so I do not see any reason why it would be different in Sri Lanka.

Originally posted by sfernando34 View PostSo China Eastern's service from Shanghai-Pudong to BIA (PVG-CMB) has begun. The flight arrives at CMB at around 19:00 local time, and departs back to PVG around 20:30. The flight is operated by an A332. Does anyone have photos of this bird at CMB? It is nice to see all these Chinese birds coming into CMB. It won't be long to Air China also adds its second service to CMB!
