              This is a joke Politician planning the route for the airline ! Very interesting he suggested Alliance Air to fly MAA-JAF-RML-HRI. Why on earth passenger from MAA have to fly RML via JAF in the 3/4 hours flight.

                Such suggestions happen when you don’t have the right people in the right places

                The most practical route would be RML-MAA-RML , whilst JAF-MAA-JAF remains as it is​

                      Air Serbia has said it is looking into long-haul leisure routes it could operate during the winter months, however, the airline noted it is primarily targeting less served destinations. The carrier expects to take delivery of its third Airbus A330-200 jet before the start of the 2023/24 winter season, and a fourth will likely follow shortly after.

                      Based on data from global travel provider OAG, cities that could be considered as leisure destinations with strong demand from Belgrade include Bangkok, Pattaya, Denpasar (Bali), Male (Maldives), Havana, Colombo, Seychelles, Zanzibar, Mauritius, Cancun and Varadero in Cuba.

                        https://aeroxplorer.com/articles/air-china-resumes-flights-between-chengdu-and-colombo.php
                        Air China is planning to resume flights between Chengdu and Colombo on July 3. Sri Lanka sees the new service as a way to revive its tourism industry, which has suffered major blows from a terrorist attack in 2019 and the COVID-19 pandemic. The reopening of outbound tourism from China is expected to bring a larger number of Chinese tourists to Sri Lanka.

                              Sad to see hear ALA is going to be scrapped!

                              Has ALA already been painted in white?

                                SriLankan Airlines first A 330-200 aircraft to be returned after 23 years



                                ​The first A 330-200 aircraft of SriLankan Airlines taken on lease from France 23 years ago is to be returned to the company of origin as the lease period has expired.

                                This aircraft has 18 Business Class and 251 Economy Class seats, and it was deployed to serve long distance destinations like Heathrow in London, Frankfurt in Germany, Melbourne in Australia and Moscow in Russia. So far, this aircraft has completed 100,000 flight hours.

                                Eventhough this plane was inside the Katunayake Airport when the LTTE attacked the airport, it was not damaged while six other SriLankan planes were damaged in the attack.

                                The aircraft which is still in very good condition owned by SriLankan Airlines, has fulfilled its service period and lease period, so it is to be taken and delivered to Airbus Company​.
