    hi banuthev,
    all aircrafts you mentioned are not scheduled to be returned at this time as far as i know( or we haven't been informed yet).
    The only re deliveries we are focussing right now are MRC ABK & MRF.
    Yes NEO training classes are being conducted at the STT.

    Cheers

        MRD and MRE will not be returned but will inducted to UL fleet. ABL will be returned may be during last months this year.

            Am i correct to guess , both the 4R-ANA and 4R-ANB (A320neos) are replacing 4R-MRC and 4R-MRF in the SriLankan Airlines fleet this year ? Its because SL gov actually ordered two A320neos to replace Mihin Lanka Fleet.

            http://www.sundaytimes.lk/150222/new...ad-137011.html .
            Eventually 4R-MRC and 4R-MRF were added to SriLankan fleet later on.

              Are the 4R-MRD and 4R-MRE on 6 years lease in Sri Lanka ? both of them were added to the fleet in 2012. So that means they are leaving the fleet in mid-2018 ?

              Any idea when does UL planning to paint and refurbish the cabins of 4R-MRD and 4R-MRE as SriLankan Airlines ?

              4R-ABQ and 4R-ABR were joined the fleet in 2014. In that case they are leaving Sri Lanka in 2020 ?

                        @ Cayman...I hope you noticed the difference between Crew Expenses and Employee Cost

                        I also did a quick calculation on the labor cost
                        i.e. Employ. Cost + Crew Expenses/(7000*12)
                        7000 # of Employ.
                        12 # of Month

                        it is averaging around SLR 265K per Employee per month...(There is no saving in labour cost there)

                        ^^^this is one of the factors why the yield is low

                        I may be wrong this is significant cost...If the oil price goes up by $10 - 15...I wonder what would happen to the bottom line...

                          Well, as i know when in a doul engine failure the aircraft begins to glide. A 747-200 can glide 150 km without engines. Then the RAT will be deployed automatically to supply electricity to essential instruments.

                          I think that they are not planning the flight keeping alternate airports in such a distance (2000km). Flight route planning has to be done keeping the relavant distance to alternate airports in case of emergency.

                            just a thought

                            ETOPS approval for A350XWB is 370min...i.e.diversion time of 5hrs and 10min on a single engine

                            @500knot distance is approx 2500nm

                              Yes, I agree that the crew costs as well as the average cost per employee is quite high for SL.

                              What I would like to see is the break down of costs between the flight crew and the cabin crew. As mentioned earlier, there is not much that can be done to curtail the flight deck crew given their very high job portability, but cabin crew expenses must be brought down significantly.

                              It is a crime to pay such huge sums for a low skilled job, when the country's financials are in such dire straits.

                                While the glide distance vary heavily on external factors as well ad the L/D ratio of the aircraft, a rough estimate is that a modern jetliner could glide up to a 100nm from typical cruise (ie FL350 or so).

                                While extremely rare, in the event of a dual flame out, that is the typical distance the flight crew will have in hand to work with.

                                ETOPS rating refers to the maximum duration a single engine operation is sanctioned, in the event of a single engine flame out.

                                As for keeping the flight deck (EFIS) powered up I think the sequence is: Engine 1-->Engine 2---> APU---> Battery backup---> RAT
