    Seriously? So the A330-900neo deal is on with SriLankan? Great to see! I think TAM is the launch customer for A330neo if I'm correct.
    I read from the news, UL is definitely not going to take those four A350 and going to negotiate on the purchase agreement. It makes sense UL to have three A330 and rest as A320 family series for the replacement of four A350.

    Why UL should be getting A339neo instead of A333? Isn't that A333 is cheaper than A339neo and also A333 is just fit for the current UL network. I think the difference on seating capacity is around 30 seats on UL style J/Y config. UL is already flying A333 to short haul routes like TRV, BLR, COK etc..

      You could start another airline at a tiny fraction of the cost associated with keeping UL running in its current form.

      It could also be 100% private - no risk for the taxpayer. If there is a viable market someone will step in.

      Run it like a business - free of corruption and with the proper safeguards in place.

      Hire people who know what they are doing instead of the current corrupt/useless government appointees.
      Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this business

          Winter season starts end of this month. Austrian is resuming Colombo flights on the 25-Oct and Royal Flight is resuming on the 27-Oct. Both flights will be operated onboard B767. KLM, Thompson etc.. would resume from Nov. Does anyone have the list of seasonal flights operating in Winter 2017?

              That's because of the difference in lease costs - the route will definitely lose money using an A333.

              It looks like they are hoping the lower lease costs of the A332 will make the route profitable. I don't think this will be a money maker as there is no market to support 5 flights/week.

              A333 on the inaugural flight because it will be loaded with Politicians and other freeloading Scum.

                  Why can't Sri Lankan directly purchase aircrafts?

                              Finally someone tells the truth!

                              Mr Handunetti told a media briefing that the national carrier cannot survive any longer. “COPE at times advices the state enterprises on how they could be turned into profit making ventures but it is unable to think of any advice for the national carrier,”
                              Not sure why another investigation is needed (at least the talk of one...) - they already have enough information in the Weliamuna Commission Report to prosecute those who have been named....
