                I can't find Mattala listed in Redwings Flight Information. Is this regular charter flight ?

                            I wonder if fuel and economic situations are getting better.?

                            4R-ALC returned to service this month after spending 2 years in storage.

                              Yes, 1st revenue flight was to DAC and back, but its 2nd revenue flight to KWI returned immediately after takeoff yesterday and is still on ground.

                              Also, 4R-ALH seems inactive since mid-December
