What do you think it will cost to train people? For one aircraft.
What do you think starting a new route costs?
There has been zero transparency on the entire $2.3Billion aircraft order. To the best of my knowledge there is no investigation just a lot of talk.
Still no annual report published - and no explanation. Something is obviously being hidden - journalists need to start investigating and asking questions.
Bankruptcy is the only way forward imho - time to drain the swamp!Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this business

A rego such as 4R-NAA would do

They could possibly target a direct flight around 4 times a week on a seasonal basis similar to KLM serving CMB from AMS and utilize the A350 to LHR as well.
Maybe add another route or two preferably in Europe because that is where revenue will flow in from. In my opinion terminating CDG and FRA is one of the most stupidest decisions ever!

So guys, um what's happening to the second A350 MSN55? Is it a must for SriLankan to have to take this Airbus, or is AerCap only asking the Airline to take it? What's the latest? Have they fitted wingtips or engines?

Anyhoo, yes I don't know if UL takes the A350, what will they ever do. But as of earlier I saw some rumors stating that AerCap wants UL to take the A350 on long lease, so what does that mean? Does SriLankan have to take it or can they deny this?
KU is looking out for A350's at the moment
