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.
