          IST-KHI-CMB-IST - 1weekly A33F
          FR24 shows Tehran was a stop on this route as well, it was dropped recently.

            Etihad A380 landed at VCBI a short while ago as Etihad 451 from Sydney bound to Abu Dhabi. Probably tech crew change, first officer sick again, pax sick or refuelling stop.

              Yes, the airline website listed Colombo as an upcoming destination. Have they received the two B738 which were due to be delivered in Nov ?

                What is the aircraft registration? Good to see A380 once again in Colombo.

                  May be technical glitch in FR24. I just checked the airline schedule but it says TK is operating once a week on IST-MAA-CMB-IST and once a week on IST-KHI-CMB-IST. It seems TK has replaced the IST-BLR-CMB-IST with IST-DMM-BLR-IST. Therefore the overall TK cargo frequency to CMB has been reduced from 3 to 2 weekly.

                          Most likely flying around Cyclone Phethai.
                          Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this business

                            Gatwick Airport News. Two of the best long-haul performers in growth terms were Kigali in Rwanda which grew by 134.1% while Sri Lanka’s Colombo increased by 110%.

                            Any possibility BA is starting LHR-CMB flights? Colombo is lacking direct flights to Europe. BA is going to resume Islamabad onboard B788. Wish they consider doing direct flight to Sri Lanka too.

                              Only reason BA left ISB was out of security concerns, had certain events not occurred they would never have left.

                                There is simply not enough traffic to justify this. Plus most of the traffic is low yield.

                                SriLankan can't make money on this route with full aircraft.

                                Even Seasonal charter flights have difficulty being profitable.
