    Per this article, the CFM56 engines on UL's A320s are to be overhauled by Lufthansa Technik. Doesn't SriLankan Engineering have the capability to do engine overhauls in-house?
    I also saw this article, a bit strange that UL did this. will UL's A320s be ferried to Germany for repairs?
    _edit: comments on this post suggest that UL engineering doesnt have all the required equipment(which are expensive)_

      Lufthansa Technik has an operation out of Manila Philippines.

      LH Technik probably has the spares to repair the engines.

        SriLankan Airlines plans to double its fleet to 50 aircraft within five years as Sri Lanka targets US $10 billion in annual tourism revenue by the end of the decade.

        The National Carrier was in possession of 27 aircrafts in prior to the Covid-19 pandemic and currently has 22 aircrafts in its fleet.
        “Our goal is to double the capacity in five years,” SriLankan Airlines Chief Executive Officer Richard Nuttall told Mirror Business speaking along the sidelines of the launch of Sri Lanka Conference Ambassador Programme (SLCAP) in Colombo this week.

        By end 2025, SriLankan Airlines is planning to boost its capacity by 25-30 percent compared to end of last year by adding three wide-bodied aircrafts. Nuttall noted that arrangements are in place to procure three wide-bodied aircrafts on wet lease.

          Good idea! Better to add A320 ceo, A321 ceo, A330-243, A330-343- and A350-900

              SriLankan Airlines on Sunday advertised for a new Chief Executive Officer (CEO), a post currently held by airline industry veteran Richard Nuttall.

              The advertisement appeared in the February 9, 2025 issue of the Sunday Times.

              Officials at the airline were unavailable for comment as to whether Nuttal’s tenure will be discontinued or whether he would serve another position in the airline.​

                  Seems like Enter AIr (E4) is operating flights from OTP to CMB via RKT. Can someone confirm?
                  6E rumoured to begin BLR-JAF flights soon onboard their ATR-72s.

                      Hi, my apologies.
                      Seems like the flight diverted from WAW to OTP for some reason, don't know why. I was confused since E4 usually doesn't operate from OTP, thats why I asked.
                      Thanks.

                        I went to see 4R-ALT at TEV today morning but the aircraft is no where to be seen but got to know from the staff over there the 4R-ALT has to be inside the hangar at TEV. I got photos of the other parked aircraft from TEV. I will post in the forum when I arrive home.

                        In the time being, I have posted my flight photos of LHR-VLC trip. Available in Plane Spotting thread : https://www.lankaaviator.com/node/17?p=63159#post63159

                            I heard there are few configuration issue causing delays inducting 4R-ALT to the UL fleet. I couldn't get permission to see the aircraft in the hangar as Maintenance provider/Aergo Capital is asking to get permission from UL but UL says they can't give permission as the aircraft in custody of Aergo and UKEF. As we know 4R-ALT will be wetleased by Aergo Capital to UL. Finance will be provided by UKEF (UK Export Finance).

                            Maintenance provider confirmed 4R-ALT definitely inside the hangar and doors are closed couldn't take photo.
