        I thought UL A321neo was LEAP -1A powered, just like their A320neos.

        Any reason why they went with P&W?

              Yes, I checked it.

              A321-251N, which is the version UL is getting has LEAP-1A.

              On March 1, 2017, EASA granted its Type Certificate to the Airbus A321-251N model. The EASA Type Certificate was handed over in Madrid by Large Transport Aeroplanes Project Certification Manager Giuseppe Scannapieco to Airbus Senior Vice President A320 Family Programme, Klaus Roewe and Airbus A320 Family Programme Chief Engineer, Pierre-Henri Brousse. The concurrent FAA validation was achieved on the same day and the FAA Type Certificate was handed over on behalf of Jeff Duven, Manager of the Transport Airplane Directorate.

                    Have you got any news on 4R-ALS, we should have received it by now if the delivery procedure would have all gone normally.

                      Airlines oppose SriLankan’s hefty hike in ground handling fee | Daily FT
                      http://www.ft.lk/article/617420/Airlines-oppose-SriLankan-s-hefty-hike-in-ground-handling-fee
                      Airlines are up in arms over planned moves by SriLankan Airlines to jack up ground handling charges at the Bandaranaike International Airport by as much as 30%. Industry sources said the quantum of the hike was unwarranted and unjustifiable and SriLankan was simply trying to take other airlines for a “mistaken” ride.  At present SriLankan holds the monopoly of ground handli ..

                        Not related to aviation, but there is a nice shot of a UL 332 under lightning conditions in this article. Some free publicity to UL as this is the image in the BBC homepage for today.

                            Hi Rahal,

                            SriLankan A333 (4R-ALN) is not flying since 19-May and A321 (4R-ABQ) also not flying recently.

                            Do you know why these aircraft are not flying ? Do you know if any A330 leaving the SriLankan fleet this year and next year? Any updates on painting ex Mihin Lanka fleet?

                            Thank you

                                SriLankan clarifies Daily FT report on ground handling move | Daily FT
                                http://www.ft.lk/article/617633/SriLankan-clarifies-Daily-FT-report-on-ground-handling-move
                                SriLankan Airlines in a statement yesterday denied the Daily FT report published on 24 May 2017 stating that the airline intends to increase ground handling charges by 30%.

                                SriLankan Airlines in a statement yesterday denied the Daily FT report published on 24 May 2017 stating that the airline intends to increase ground handling charges by 30%.

                                It said the reality was that the rates in existence at Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) since 1997 would be continuing. What has been initiated however, is a process that streamlines ground handling charges with individual airline as per services defined in the Standard Ground Handling Agreement (SGHA).
                                No no UL is not increasing any thing just streamlining...AKA management fluff or BS

                                Herein there would be a few airlines who enjoyed concessions to the published rates based on previous negotiations quoting reciprocity (where that airline provides ground handling services to SriLankan at their home-base and SriLankan provides ground handling services to them in Colombo) having to pay more as a result of such benefit ceasing to exist for SriLankan.
                                That's because there are other's UL referring to in West Asia and SE Asia have much better facilities compared to CMB

                                In the same way, there are other airlines that are to benefit with reductions to charges due to published concessions based on volume as well as more services being added.
                                Yes it is called volume discount. you buy more you get better discount...nothing unusual here

                                Therefore, it would be grossly incorrect to quote an increase in rates based on a few airlines losing concessions as a result of changes in the business contours.
                                AKA management fluff or BS

                                The fact that ground handling rates have remained unchanged since 1997 is to be noted in the context of SriLankan being the sole ground handler at BIA. Also to be appreciated is the fact that Colombo›s ground handling rates remain [B]competitive when compared with other stations in the region that have the presence of a sole handler.
                                Yes ground handling charge has remained unchanged since 1997. but UL charge ground handling charges in USD. So let me get this straight who get the benefit of SLR currency devaluation.

                                and finally you comparing ground handling charges with other monopolies in the region?...that must be very hard compete against right?


                                It is also untrue to state that Colombo›s ground handling rates have deterred airlines from operating to Sri Lanka, as the cost considered here is a small share of an airline’s direct operating cost;
                                it is part of the cost which is handed over to customer ticket including departure tax which is around USD50+ and CPC Jet A1...when you add up all the cost Colombo is very expensive

                                hence having little or no influence over an airline’s decision to serve a specific destination. Furthermore, Colombo sees new operators commencing services to BIA every season, whilst the regular operators keep increasing frequencies.
                                Why did the BA pulled out? and except for some West Asian carrier who are uplifting fuel from home base there are almost nil any European carriers operating to CMB

                                Editor›s Note: Daily FT stands by its report.
                                So does the readers
