I wonder why Lufthansa or Condor didn't serve FRA-CMB after the termination of UL flights in 2016.Originally posted by channa View Post
Do you think UL can make FRA successful again?
Hi Haleef, Hope you're doing well , Do you know when UL is going to restart Frankfurt flighs?Comment

Lufthansa operates from FRA to all major Indian destinations and to Male seasonal but not to CMB.FRA-CMB was a popular segment for North American passengers flying to South India, Male , CMB and South East Asia.Hope UL will succeed.Originally posted by banuthev View PostComment

(Btw Lufftansa, Air France, Condor, BA, Alitalia, Aeroflot, Neos ,Austrian Airlines, Edelweiss Air.... all fly to MLE)... it is pretty sad that none of these are coming here...Comment

Skyup Airlines in Colombo AirportComment

Any idea why the first flight out of Colombo was diverted to Sharjah?Originally posted by Serendib View PostComment

I guess Sharjah is a techincal stop. B737 can't fly Kiev to Colombo due to range.Originally posted by Doughie View Post
Any water salute given for Skyup airlines during the first arrival in Colombo?Comment

just for my understanding...
Gulf Air flight that comes here CMB at 91.5AM just park over here until it departs back MLE at 5.00PM? 8 hrs??
9:10 AM GF144 Male (MLE) Gulf Air A20N (A9C-TD)
5:00 PM GF145 Male (MLE) Gulf Air A20N (A9C-TD)Comment

An aviation portal flightstats.com has named SriLankan Airlines the world's most punctual airline with 90.75 per cent of its flights arriving on time in May.
According to the portal, this is the second time in less than 12 months that the carrier has achieved such a milestone, having also winning the world's number one spot in September 2018 with a punctuality rating of 91.37 per cent.
The airline mentioned that the win was a challenging achievement given heightened security at is hub – Colombo airport.
To determine the ranks, Flightstats.com had tracked 78 per cent of 3,282 flights operated by SriLankan Airlines.
In the list, Singapore Airlines is in 8th position with 7,987 flights while Emirates is in 10th with 12,615 flights.

The reasons major carriers do not fly to Colombo.
- Seasonal destination.
- Low yielding destination with very little Premium traffic.
It's simple Economics - they can make more money operating to other destinations.
UL lost a lot of money operating Frankfurt flights - these were stopped for a good reason.
What has changed since then? Nothing - this route will just result in more losses if it is restarted.Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this businessComment
