Destination is a logical destination for SriLankan to fly to , yes they have tried before , but as we all know the situation has now changed dramatically in Sri Lanka , not only does MEL have one of the largest Sri Lankan disapora in the world ( + growing ) stats show that Australia is now the # 1 choice for Sri Lankan emigres . Not only does MEL have a large Sri Lankan population but it alos has over 200,000 Indian immigrants as well , with no direct flights to the the SASC - SriLankan has a great opportunity to capture market to Sri Lanka & INDIA - forget the Kangaroo route , no $$ to be made , the 'Seredip route' from MEL to CMB with immediate connections to MLE , MAA , BOM , DEL , COK will be succesful - yes yields are challenging but sustainable nonetheless - as for flying from SYD , BNE & ADL to MEL flying times & connections are all good at MEL airport in same terminal & no flight curfews - passengers will do this - they do already - also do not forget they will connect from AKL , WLG & CHC New Zealand over MEL - so bring on Australia !!! Not in cricket however - Go the mighty Lions !!

I agree that UL should be looking at consolidation, rather than expansion at a time of great internal financial crisis.
Opening up new routes is a huge drain until they become profitable (if ever) and even if they do, that happens after several years, time that UL does not have.
They should get rid of the six aging A343s and slash unprofitable routes. They should also increase the frequency to existing profitable destinations. Flying to a destination 3-4 times a week does not help establish the brand, there should be daily flights.
There is no point in having bragging rights that UL now flies to so many destinations, when they are bleeding money and are on life support at the tax payer expense. This insanity has to stop!
