            Hi guys! No big updates about ALT, but I've seen people of a refurbishment & interiors company working, and movement of seats in and out of the aircraft, dont know if only business class or more. So for sure there are working on something of the interiors.

            The aircraft still with engine covers and in all-white livery.

                Cathay Pacific to operate 4 weekly flights from 2nd of January 2025 to 1st of March 2025. Frequency will be increased from 4 weekly to 5 weekly starting from 2nd of March to 30th of March, Cathay will be sticking to the A330-300. No current plans as far I am aware to deploy A350s to Colombo. Will update If I have more info.

                  Thanks.
                  It seems MU is going to continue operating KMG-CMB flights. I see 2 weekly KMG-CMB and 3 weekly KMG-CMB-MLE have been planned for W24.

                  ​Any chance CX restoring daily flights to CMB in S25 ? Remembering CX did daily B777 in the past.

                    Typical Nationalised airline story. They will take their time to get things done while foreign airlines keep taking our market share away. I hope they dont send these aircraft on LH routes to NRT, MEL,SYD,LHR,CDG,FRA. the social media influencers will have a banger of a day further damaging UL reputation.

                    Ex. TG seats are fine for the time being on regional routes. I have done them a few times and it was good for the uptown 5 hrs flights.

                    Are we due for more A320??? remember the tender was for 5 A/C???
                    Is UL is planning to operate A332 to FRA in Feb25 ? Hopefully its not going to be operated by ALH/ALS.

                      ​4R-ABN operated over 2 weeks ago as COK-CMB as UL166 on the 08-Sep-24
                      4R-ALL operated over 10 days ago as FRA-CMB as UL501 on the 15-Sep-24. UL501 was delayed that day. Any reason?

                          Probably because UL does not have a small enough aircraft to operate to JAF, we just have to wait and see since hopefully JAF airport will be getting expanded soon with a longer runway and more facilities, which could mean that UL could deploy an A320. I'm not really sure but we just have to see.

                          I don't think Sri Lanka is developed enough for domestic air travel, don't get me wrong, The only reason that domestic flights don't really work in SL is because of the price and the undeveloped facilities, since flights can go up to 200USD almost and it just makes sense to take the train rather than fly to JAF. However, if prices reduce in the coming years, from 200 to 100 (round trip) then I believe it would be possible.
                          There are rumours Indigo is planning to fly JAF from BLR, TRZ and IXM in the next 6 months.

                            Great news if true! JAF getting more traffic than HRI will always be funny to me, Hopefully RedWings, Uzbek, Bulgaria Air and SkyUP return to HRI soon. Someone please update with more info about these carriers return to SL.

                              During 2025 CX may increase to 6 weekly or daily, Not really sure but I'm hopeful of it. The increase of frequency between HKG-CMB comes because of the increase of cargo demand I believe, So maybe Cathay will deploy 777s or A350s during 2025. Will speak to a representative of CX and get back to you with more info

                                How long do A333 cabin reconfigurations take?
