Thanks for the info Ojas. Good to have an Indian perspective here as well. I think (and hope) UL will start expanding into India soon, with the expansion of their narrowbody fleet. Most of their Indian flights were cut due to profitability reasons in the Global Financial Crisis so depending on the situation now, they could be restarted. I agree with you that UL are currently underserving India. Additional destinations they could look at include Kolkata and Ahmedabad and maybe Pune (although MJ could fly to Pune as an alternative to BOM).

I think UL will now be only interested in Indian destinations with some O&D. This is because the gulf connections provided during Peter Hill's tenure are no longer viable due to newer direct flights.
Unfortunately Sri Lanka does not have or allow any private intl pax carriers otherwise it could be argued that UL was operating the 15th weekly MAA flight as a gun in the head to stop a private carrier from operating a daily flight. However given that Indian carriers will soon operate 49 weekly CMB flights from MAA, it seems unfair that Sri Lankan carriers are just allowed 21.Last edited by Kflyer; 18-04-2011, 01:12 AM.The opinions above are solely my own and do not reflect those of my employer or clientsComment

If UL cannot expand to MAA, it is because of it's own ineptitude nothing else.Last edited by Ojas; 18-04-2011, 05:36 AM.Comment

Any chance of moving Air Force base to A'pura or Hingurakgoda? That will be the most suitable solution than having a parallel runway in south side?Originally posted by LongrangerComment
