    4R-ABN Delayed for almost 20 Hours at Cochin

    UL168 from Cochin to Colombo is delayed by 8 hours as sources say. Anyone know the reason why? Probably a technical fault as the A320-200 (4R-ABN) landed there on time from CMB.
    Scheduled to take off at 12 noon tomorrow.

      OMG! What's going on with UL's A320s? Even yesterday 4R-ABP performing flight UL109/10 cameback to Colombo without landing Male'. Does anybody know the reason?

        We will see what happens !

          This is going to hurt both EY and QR.
          Do QR and EY have significant traffic connecting off CMB?

              In a couple of years Jet Airways and Vistara will beat UL hands down...Only weakness Indian airlines had was poor infrastructure. Indian govt is now building decent airports...When Indian govt gives Vistara international status UL will be out of the regional routes as well.

                  Hedging deal cost CPC over Rs. 9 billion loss: Auditor General

                  The Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC) has incurred losses of more than Rs. 9 billion as a result of the disastrous hedging transactions, a report from the Auditor General’s Department says.

                  The CPC was cited as a party in arbitration proceedings pertaining to the hedging contracts entered into with several commercial banks.

                  In June 2013, US$ 60 million had been paid to the Standard Chartered Bank under a deed of settlement entered into between the parties.

                  “According to information made available, the total losses incurred by the Corporation as at 31 December 2014, including the travelling expenses of Rs. 5,261,827, was Rs. 9,780 million,” the report says.

                  Meanwhile, the Central Bank of Sri Lanka also incurred Rs. 571 million in legal expenses as a result of the hedging transactions. Of this, the CPC had reimbursed Rs. 568 million between 2011 and 2014.

                  “In addition to that, the CBSL had paid a sum of Rs. 379 million up to 31 December 2014 for the services obtained from the foreign lawyers who had appeared in the arbitration proceedings initiated by the Deutsche Bank against the Government of Sri Lanka,” the Auditor General’s report states.

                  The financial difficulties referred to include inefficiency of refinery operations with low margins, poor yields and frequent stoppages, resulting in importation of refined petroleum products to meet the demand of the country; provision of fuel to SriLankan Airlines and Mihin Lanka at concessionary rates which were lower than the contract customer price; poor maintenance of storage facilities.

                    EY has flights from Colombo to connect their early morning and late morning departure banks to North America and Europe.

                    Qatar has similar arrangements.

                        You're welcome. Do you know why 4R-ABN was AOG in Kochi yesterday? Is UL still have plans to terminate flights to Rome, Paris and Frankfurt? I think UL should be continuing to serve Frankfurt.

                            I think it's still being debated with cases being made for and against terminating these routes. Either way a decision should be made soon as the uncertainty is not doing UL any favors.

                                There's no money to do anything. The Management are nothing but NATO members.

                                No alternative but to cut routes in a desperate attempt to reduce losses (another epic fail...).

                                The Management of the Airline are mostly political appointees - their function is to rubber stamp whatever the GOSL decrees and keep the funds flowing to family, friends and cronies.

                                Any efforts to investigate obvious theft, fraud and abuse of power have been blocked.

                                Rampant corruption and incompetence at all levels within the Airline. I've explained how it works at the office.

                                There's only one way this ends imho.

                                This was the situation at Flight Ops in 2013 when I left. The holes really were lining up - somehow they managed to avoid an accident.
