    Qatar Airways is going to add 5th Daily Flight to Colombo effective 2 July 2023. It seems we will see QR operating these aircraft to Colombo from July: 1 x A320 , 1 x B787, 3 x A333

    Does Qatar- Sri Lanka have open skies policy? Amazing to see most flights are operating on this route.

    Which aircraft are being used on QR flight to Colombo these days?

        At this moment, UL have at least confirmed on five narrow bodies and two A330s. Next two to three months, acquiring at least seven aircraft in the first phase.

        The airline currently has a fleet of 22 aircraft, out of which four are grounded due to delays in procuring required spare parts,

        Pathirage said the biggest challenge SriLankan is facing at the moment is its inadequate fleet, which impedes operating flights on new routes and increasing frequencies to destinations the airline is already flying, where there is demand for additional flights.

          Good to hear finally some progress. Will SriLankan refixed cabin interior for incoming fleet? . A330's 200 or 300 variant?

            I feel that would be a good move to operate 5th Freedom Flights between MAA and CMB as I doubt Myanmar alone would yield a high load factor

            Any idea what aircraft they’d be operating? They do have A319’s which would be a good aircraft to deploy​

                Finally a low-cost carrier from Bangkok.
                We need one from Singapore too.

                  Fitsair better launch Singapore asap before competitor enters in Colombo-Singapore route.

                  I wonder what delays Fitsair's launch to Singapore as they have already sufficient fleet to expand?

                    KUL should remain on the cards for FitsAir….Bangkok (DMK) would be a good market to venture in to, not forgetting AirAsia’s strength in the region

                    Sustaining the above routes may prove to be challenging
                    Hi Aaqib,

                    Do you think Fitsair's plan of launching Bangkok affected after announcement of AirAsia resuming DMK-CMB route?

                    I guess Fitsair better speedup the launching of new destinstions quickly as it seems International airlines are starting to resume flights to Colombo Airport in coming months. What do you think?

                    Fitsair also better think about Jeddah route as its not being served by any Airlines currently. How Fitsair can make Jeddah work out with A320ceo?

                      Does India allow 5th Freedom flights? I haven't noticed any international airline operating any passenger-flight with 5th freedom out of india.

                        Sri Lanka's FitsAir mulls narrowbody options, to add ATRs

                        Bolstered by its early success as a revamped, passenger-focused carrier, FitsAir has revived plans to add ATR72s but is also thinking about growing its narrowbody fleet, Vice-President (Passenger) Peter Hill told ch-aviation in an exclusive interview.

                          It seems Fitsair have dropped the plan of adding Q400s to the fleet?

                          What are your thoughts of Fitsair expanding into India and the Maldives with ATRs?

                            Direct flight is not a wise idea . If really need can extended DAC ( Bangladesh) flight RGN ( Myanmar)

                            There is few routs to be fixed before this sector . SGN ( Vietnam ) MNL ( Philippines) can start via BKK additional flight and Via HKG . Also ICN must be daily flight . Also UL 364 CGK must extended to DPS - Denpasar , Bali with one hour technical stop at CGK​

                              ATR’s seem practical as they have previously operated them…..in this case they should deploy them from RML to Maldives and South India

                                What happened to the plans to get 400s? They are much faster (over 100 ktas) and will be back in RML and turned and gone on its way to TRV while the ATR is still wallowing in the clag back from MLE They also carry 90 pax whereas the ATR tops out at 72 and then you have problems carrying all the bags
