It will not be going on dry lease to PIA, and will later be painted in SriLankan colours again. It might receive a new interior (Refurbished).
Still cannot be confirmed, but as soon as I get more info, I will share.
The cost burden of the A330 is going to come back to UL

Do you know what the status of the A332 leases are? I am not sure about the rationale behind incurring more loss in leasing out the new planes and having them trashed rather than getting rid of the A332s and using the the A333s in their place.

I'm not very sure, but to my guessing I think they will be extending the lease of the A332. 4R-ALN will return to Colombo maybe tonight or tomorrow, as it is done serving PIA. But if they extend the lease of the A332, it would be no point, as the aircraft are very old, and they seriously need to be changed or replaced by a more efficient aircraft maybe.

Originally posted by channa View PostI think AF and LH both should consider flying to CMB. KLM now have only seasonal flights in winter to CMB. But should also consider running throughout the year.

Originally posted by TheF15Ace View PostThey have EK, EY, QR, CX, SQ, JL(connecting to UL in NRT), KW just off the top of my head. Though admittedly I'm not sure how the timing is for connections on some of these carriers. But there are plenty of airlines to choose from.
No reason for UL to maintain hugely unprofitable continental European destinations.
UL should probably consider operating double daily to LHR throughout the year though and solidify their presence there.
