    Nice to see most of the UL fleet are up and flying. Only 3 neos are down for maintenance or engine issues. I see punctuality of SriLankan flights have been improved since last week.

    • UL CEO said the plans to add three more aircraft within the next three months to increase the tally to 25 aircraft this year.

      CEO Richard Nuttall is confident about SriLankan Airlines’ future, highlighting strategic initiatives to modernise the fleet and expand operations. ..


      .....

      SriLankan Airlines will be getting its full fleet activated by the end of this year.

        Any idea of the 4x A330 we will be getting? what models (-200/-300)? when delivery to UL?

        High time ABL and MRE exit the fleet. Very bad condition. When are their leases up?
        My guess would be 3 more A320ceos due to arrive before end of this year and may be 4 more A330 will be added before end of next year.

        Two A333s are due to leave the fleet in 2026 and five A333s are due to leave in 2027.

        Guys, please correct me if I am wrong.

            If i recall it correctly, 7 x A330-343s were leased for 12 years in 2014/2015.

            4R-ALL - Leased from ALC for 12 years
            4R-ALM, ALN, ALO, ALP, ALQ - Leased from HKAC for 12 years
            4R-ALR - Leased from CIT for 12 years

            Below source confirms these A333s are due back to their lessors in 2026/2027.

            Source : CH Aviation

            SL Gov has approved two contracts for SriLankan Airlines to lease a total of four A330 aircraft. Two A330s will be leased from Orix Aviation for a period of 6 years at 360k USD per month. Another two will be leased from Aergo capital for 8 years at USD 365k per month.

            while two of the dry leased A330-300s are due back to their lessors in 2026 and the remaining five during 2027. SriLankan CEO Richard Nuttall has previously spoken of the loosing end-lease dates and the preasure that has put on the airline to acquire replacements.

            ch-aviation understands SriLankan Airlines has signed letters of intent for two of the A330s but is unsure if the other two are still available.​

              Thanks lot for the info, UL needs to find replacements for those 333s....339 neo or 359... at least used 333s or 332s but with a good cabin.

                    I heard B737 will be used to Colombo by Spicejet.

                    Any update on extending JAF runway to accommodate A320/B737?

                    Indigo is going to increase Chennai - Colombo flights from 2 Daily to 3 Daily effective 15 Oct.

                    Sri Lanka in negotiations with Ethiopian and Kenya Airways to start flights to Colombo. Do you think there is a demand on this route for these airlines?

                    • Jetstar Asia (3K) has announced it will become the only low-cost carrier to fly direct from Singapore to Colombo, Sri Lanka, when the new service takes off on 21 November 2024.

                      Any update on this?​

                            Hello everybody nice to see you all. I'm new around here.
                            Probably 737 as far as I am aware. It's great to see CMB picking up traffic.

                                Welcome to our forum! I see UL also planning to expand the flight out of Colombo, effective Jan25. I believe all the neos are returning to service end of Dec24. Haleef - Can you please confirm? ​​​
