What a ridiculous comparison. Yes TLV/CAI to CMB is a valid justification compared to Madagascar and Afghanistan (does the people living in Madagascar and Afghanistan has the same buying power as the people living in TLV and Cairo). Remember SEZ is profitable route to Mihin. You must be thinking UL should only fly where Sri Lankan live and compete against already established airlines. In business you should do what others don't do...that's how you become a market leader/visionary. Why do you think EK start operating to Panama City...It is definitely not to serve any Emiratis (if there is any) living there. It is connect Dubai with Ship crew changes (now that what I call thinking outside of the box)Last edited by Speedbird; 23-12-2015, 11:14 AM. -

If you are going to track it live on FR24, You won't be able to find it friend, The aircraft is visible only on where the MLAT coverage is up, just like 4R-ALO and 4R-ALP.Originally posted by AirCeylon View PostComment

Has it been taken to hangar for checks & IFE setup? Wondering if it has received the name as "City of ...." any pic of her from Cmb?Originally posted by Sandaru View Post

SriLankan Airlines operates special Bangkok-Colombo flt following cancellation
SriLankan Airlines says it “acted swiftly” to arrange a new flight – among other measures - after the Bangkok-Colombo UL883 flight was*cancelled on Tuesday night owing to an aircraft engine cowling (outer case) being damaged on the ground at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport.
The incident took place when a baggage cart operated by the airport’s ground handlers veered into the Airbus A330-300 aircraft and damaged an engine cowling (outer case) on Tuesday night, the airline release said.
“SriLankan Airlines made immediate arrangements for 32 passengers with onward connections in Colombo to travel on flights of other airlines. The remaining 251 passengers were provided overnight hotel accommodation in Bangkok by SriLankan Airlines. All 283 passengers were served a meal on board while arrangements were made. Another aircraft was dispatched from Colombo to Bangkok within a few hours, to operate a special flight to bring the remaining passengers to Colombo,” it said. - http://www.sundaytimes.lk/
To my knowledge the aircraft is 4R-ALL
They Scratched the brand new aircraft

Rahal, Is it 4R-ALL the A333 which was grounded in BKK due to a damage of the engine cowling? How did this happened? I would say some vehicle at BKK would've hit the cowling of a UL's A333. May be I'm wrong . Please advise.Originally posted by Sandaru View PostSriLankan Airlines operates special Bangkok-Colombo flt following cancellation

Hi.. I think yes and it must be replaced by now, not yet sure.. 4R-ALL was the 333 which was grounded. The right engine cowling had damaged due to a baggage trolley.Originally posted by banuthev View PostComment

Haleef, It looks like there was a ceremony at the CMB hangar for the arrival of 4R-ALQ. Do you know when it does starting the revenue flights? Which is her 1st destination from Cmb? Do you what registration UL's 3 x A350-941s going to receive? Perhaps 4R-AXA :•)

Digitalairliners, UL will be receiving it's last new A330-343E (4R-ALR/1689) on the 31-Dec-15. Did you findout if Beluga has delivered the airframe-parts of UL's 1st A350-941 (MSN52) to TLS from Bremen or Hamburg ?Comment
