Nice! Do you know where she was parked at? I think she will be delivered soon. Thanks for the update Banu!
well, according to what banuthev posted, It's presumably still in TEV. It might be delivered very soon after this test flight as it is after some time it last had its transponder ON.
Seems like alot of cargo airlines are using CMB as a refueling stop before continuing to either Africa or Far East. I'm not sure if this is a regular flight or if its some charter, will have to wait and see. reg is TF-AMU 747F.jpg

As far as I know most of 747 Cargo planes land here for Tech stops, specially "Terra Avia".
After long time since i was not well, hope everyone is doing fine!
Regarding these new routes, no updates yet, TRV is listed in the website, but its not sure, struggling with ground handling and other work at TRV.
However with the effect from 18th Dec 24 to 29th March 25, updated Winter schedule is attached!
Hi Banu and all,

hello MAW2000,
does CX fly their 747F to CMB? I have seen fr24 entries for arrivals but in 'unknown' status.
it looks like CMB is a better of a cargo stop for carriers like T8
T8 is a aircraft charter/leasing company doing both cargo and pax

Hi,
I did not notice CX 747F operations to CMB for past few months! Only their A333 Pax ops!
Plus, Those 747 operators use CMB not as a cargo stop, but as a technical stop.
Hi all, 4R-ALH ADSB transponder is Switched on littlewhile ago!
4R-ALH is in the B747-hangar and ADSB transponder is switched on. I also see 4R-MRE parked near A320-hangar and ADSB transponder is on.
Hi MAW, Haleef, n863gt and all, I heard in this forum 4R-MRE due to leave the UL fleet in 2025. Is this going through end-of-lease checks ? or will return to UL fleet after maintenance ?
Sri Lankan start-up Air Ceilão has applied to the country's civil aviation authority for an air operator's certificate and hopes to be in the air by May 2025.
An Air Ceilão spokesperson confirmed to ch-aviation that the AOC application was submitted and that the carrier aimed to start operations using two A320 Family aircraft.
Previously, Air Ceilão chairman Janith Kashan said he wanted to harness Sri Lanka’s strategic position as a regional aviation hub and would initially operate to "key destinations in the Middle East and Asia Pacific."
The Air Ceilão spokesperson says the network plan for the first year of operations includes:
five weekly roundtrips between Colombo and Dubai International;
five weekly roundtrips between Colombo and Doha Hamad International;
five weekly roundtrips between Colombo and Chennai;
four weekly roundtrips between Colombo and Bangkok Suvarnabhumi;
four weekly roundtrips between Colombo and Singapore Changi; and
three weekly roundtrips between Colombo and Malé.
If Air Ceilão secures the necessary licences and gets off the ground, it will become Sri Lanka's fourth active scheduled operator, alongside SriLankan Airlines, FitsAir, and Cinnamon Air

They are probably going to be using A320 narrowbodies as stated above. They said that they will be expanding to widebodies after that.
