4R-ALN did its first revenue flight with PIA today (PIA 785/786). Is this the first time 4R-XXX aircraft being used by another mainline airline on wet lease basis?

I can't recall wetlease like that but 4R-ULA was leased to British Airways by Airlanka in 1988. Otherwise Pakistan based cargo operator, Intercity Airways used to fly AN12 with Sri Lanka's registration 4R-AIA.Originally posted by CalgaryLankan View PostComment

I doubt Fitsair's DC8 was operating for another airline. Please confirm? As far as I know Fitsair has 4 hubs (CMB, DXB, NBO & SIN). May be their DC8 was operating out of DXB but now their DC8 is based in NBO.Originally posted by dilushasg-bdavi View PostComment

So, this arrangement with PK looks like a 'damp lease', not a wet lease as widely publicized.Originally posted by Max
The Cabin crew certainly looks like from PK.Comment

Sri Lankan flight grounded
A Sri Lankan Airlines flight bound for Colombo on Saturday was grounded at the Tiruchi International Airport due to a technical snag. Sources said the engine fault was detected a few minutes before the flight was about to take off at 9.30 am.
All 146 passengers had boarded prior to the detection of the fault. Since it could not be set right immediately, all passengers were asked to alight and accommodated in a hotel.
