    ALH and ALN both were taken in for C-checks months ago. Lots of patch work and repairs were done on it, including painting. ALH is nearly done now, probably a test flight will happen soon. ALN is now being worked on. Expect to see ALH flying soon again.

      I believe operating ALS was indeed profitable. For UL to get their formula right, I do hope they look to at least convert some of the older A330’s into dedicated freighters.

      The best examples would be the Indian LCC’s - IndiGo and SpiceJet who are performing well on Cargo Ops even with narrow body freighters

      Secondly, UL does also need focus on regional connectivity from our Minor International Airports (RML & JAF) as of now JAF is monopolized by Alliance.
      They should honestly phase out the 2 A320neos and allocate the same in acquiring turboprops - FitsAir were considering the Q400 however I’m not quite sure when they are scheduled to be delivered

      RML & JAF as we know have lower embarkation fees, translating into lower fares which is something we all look for
      I wonder why engine issues on ABQ, ANA, ANF have not been resolved yet? I can't see AND and ANE are not flying too.

      I wonder why UL have to look for additional 5 A320 instead of fixing the current problems in the narrow body fleet

                        Oman Air leases Dubai slots to FitsAir,

                        Oman Air (WY, Muscat) has leased a part of its Dubai International slot portfolio to Sri Lanka's FitsAir (8D, Colombo International) and Bangladesh's US-Bangla Airlines (BS, Dhaka) for the Summer 2023 season.

                        The Sri Lankan carrier will be able to operate daily flights from Colombo International to Dubai using a 180-seat A320-200 aircraft between March 26 and October 28, 2023. The privately-owned carrier currently operates three A320ceo jets and one ATR72-200(QC) on scheduled services from Colombo to Malé, Dubai, and Chennai. It confirmed to ch-aviation that it was planning to use the slots leased from Oman Air to increase the frequency of its services to Dubai.

                        Meanwhile, US-Bangla Airlines has leased 3x weekly slots for services from Dhaka, operated using a 164-seat B737-800. The Bangladeshi airline currently connects Dhaka with Dubai 10x weekly.

                        Both slot leases are for babysitting, which indicates that Oman Air had no plans to use them in the coming summer season. By leasing them to other airlines, it can protect the slots from being returned due to non-use.

                        Oman Air currently operates 21x weekly flights from Muscat to Dubai using B737-8s and occasionally B787-9s, the ch-aviation schedules module shows.

                        I wonder what Fitsair is going to do for daily slots at Dubai in Winter 2023 season?

                          I believe operating ALS was indeed profitable. For UL to get their formula right, I do hope they look to at least convert some of the older A330’s into dedicated freighters.

                          The best examples would be the Indian LCC’s - IndiGo and SpiceJet who are performing well on Cargo Ops even with narrow body freighters

                          Secondly, UL does also need focus on regional connectivity from our Minor International Airports (RML & JAF) as of now JAF is monopolized by Alliance.
                          They should honestly phase out the 2 A320neos and allocate the same in acquiring turboprops - FitsAir were considering the Q400 however I’m not quite sure when they are scheduled to be delivered

                          Any news on Fitsair Q400? 1d4dda_b5f703c3860142ed8d01cc6866fe83f9~mv2.jpg

                            Fitsair did the ground testing on 4R-EXN (ATR) at RML two days ago.

                            Hi Haleef, Do you know when 4R-EXN expecting to fly schedule flights?

                                Saudia announced 25 new destinstions : https://airwaysmag.com/saudia-25-new-destinations/

                                Sadly Colombo is not in the new destinstions list

                                Why Kuwait Airways and Saudia doesn't fly to Colombo?
