Good news and thanks for posting. -
Beyond the Indian community in Colombo. Colombo South (Bambalapitiya, Wellawatte, Dehiwala, Mount Lavinia and Soysapura) has a significant Sri Lankan Tamil population. So it's better, if they can use that opportunity to cater them with some south Indian cities especially like MAA (Chennai). They can ask Air India Express, SpiceJet or Jet Airways since all of them have regional aircrafts which can be landed at RML.Originally posted by Serendib View Post
Good move of converting RML to a regional airport.Comment

More than the Runway, the problem I have heard is the Parliament complex. It's on the direct flight path, 05 miles away from the runway.
They can lineup turbo props, without flying over the complex but a jet liner will be a problemComment

Parliament will not be in the "direct flight path" on a perceived ILS approach on 22. It is about 1 mile Northwest of the flight path.Originally posted by csilva_lk View Post
It may intrude on the exclusion zone though. I am not sure of the size of no-fly zone around the parliament.Comment

Aren't they gonna lease return that plane before that. What's going on, so is UL planning to absorb that plane to their fleet. It may be nice to see an air Ceylon retro livery around but then I heard these ex-MJ airplanes are leased at a highly inflated rate.Originally posted by banuthev View PostComment

Hope , they will do one in Air Lanka colour scheme as well !Originally posted by banuthev View PostComment

I see no reason why an airline on life support waiting for the plug to be pulled spend money on retro livery.Originally posted by SKYBUCK729 View Post
From an aviation enthusiasts point, yes, I get the urge, but once you take a pragmatic view of it, it was never like both Air Ceylon and Air Lanka were the proud achievements of the nation to celebrate.
Under both guises they just burned through the precious little money the country had, which otherwise would have been spent on programs that would have been beneficial to masses.Comment

yup I heard people say MRD will be painted in Air Ceylon and MRE will be painted on AirLanka livery for 70 year celebrations. Or both Air Ceylon and AirLanka logos will be painted in the belly. Not 100% confirmed yet.Originally posted by banuthev View PostComment

don't know about the lease rates, but both MRD and MRE will be acquired by UL and fly around another 2 years or so.Originally posted by Mach3 View PostComment
