    I thought 10 hours of flying is pretty normal .. and on a A343, it is not life threatening

    AF and others do 10 hour plus sectors from Europe to South American flights on A 332/A 333 or 777s

              Sir Lankan flies four or five times a week from Paris, Frankfurt, Rome, Milan and Zurich. Wickremasinghe said: “We aim to go daily from all of them, but the UK is more important than any other European destination.
              This Sounds very Good.

                        SriLankan Airlines said that six of the new aircraft they plan to acquire by April 2012 will have CFM engines, instead of the IAE V2500 engines that SriLankan’s current A320 aircraft use : http://www.thesundayleader.lk/2011/1...e-cfm-engines/

                          Hainan started their operations to MLE effective 1nov. Does anyone know what really happen to their CMB operations. Hainan staff in CMB were saying due to commercial issues on their BJS/BKK sector which was the 1st leg of the flight. Guess CMB was not commercially viable?
