Any Possibility of new flights to HRI?
With the spare capacity available at Mihin Lanka's utilization of aircraft, was pondering on why they dont relaunch flights to HRI on the A319?
A frequency 3 to 4 times a week would be practical mainly to serve commuters and business folk along with tourists would be practical as I recall the daily flights UL157/158 operated by UL in the past did have a load factor of over 75% and that too being operated on the A320's
Cinnamon Air plans to start operations in the next few months and that too being on a Cessna aircraft with pretty exorbitant prices for such a short hop as well as Helitours now focusing mainly on tourists and thereby increasing fares by nearly twice as what they where before

Originally posted by Aaqib View PostVery true, although I really hope the two aging A320's namely 4R-ABK and ABL would be retired.I also hear that the two A321's leased from QR would be returned upon delivery of the A320NEO's

Originally posted by A350-XWB View PostThe order has NOT been cancelled yet, but yes, UL is reluctant to take these A350s
UL will probably have to take the first three because they are leased from AerCap and because three of their A330-200s are to be returned to the lessor as soon as 2017
Regarding the others on order, we cannot confirm that these aircraft on order won't be cancelled.
Kind regards,

Earlier today, UL's first A350 (MSN52) was rolled out to P18 for outdoor ground tests. Any pictures/updates?

Sources from inside BIA confirmed a team of engineers has been sent to Toulouse for a A350XWB maintenance training program.

However I do hope that SriLankan will also acquire some A321NEOs because that aircraft would be ideal (in terms of capacity) for many of the narrowbody routes SriLankan currently flies.

Originally posted by ecureilx View PostThere was some news that the PW1000Gs are having a lot of teething problems, and LH has paused the deliveries.
One is a software issue where the engine keeps sending multiple error messages to the cockpit.
The other is the extra start up time required due to cooling issues after shut-down on the previous flight.
This is why LH has flown the A320NEO on intra German routes so far, because engineering support is needed at the airports it lands at. However Pratt & Whitney has stated that by the end of 2016 these issues should be ironed out.
It is also worth noting 6E has so far taken delivery of 2 A320NEOs and expects another one by the end of March.Last edited by TheF15Ace; 18-03-2016, 08:42 AM.
