    Indigo has reduced the Chennai-Colombo flights from 3 Daily to 2 Daily since Fitsair started Chennai flights. Any idea how is the passenger-load on Fitsair's flights (Chennai, Dubai and Male')?
    ALA was retired
    ALN will return to service by the end of this month,

      Yes, Grounded aircrafts are narrow bodies while we need new widebodies to replace aging A330s, I'd say aircrafts were grounded due to political interference just like what happned with A350 deal.
      and media brings every insignificant issue to the spotlight ( for instance : ALM breakdown in MEL) we ruin our airlines reputation, but at what cost?
      Thanks Rum, but UL also leasing 5 more narrow body aircraft as per below source.

      SriLankan Airlines issues RFPs for five A330s, five A320s
      https://www.themorning.lk/articles/Y5GB7SUV2eELLiO5dKA8
      SriLankan Airlines (UL, Colombo Int'l) is seeking five second-hand A320 Family aircrafts and the same number of A330s for a six-year dry lease.


      I wonder why do UL need those 5 more narrow bodies when already 5 narrow bodies are grounded and paying their lease payments. Can't UL sort the engine repairs for the current narrow bodies fleet instead of ordering more narrow bodies?

          SriLankan Airlines has denies claims that some of its flights have been grounded over financial issues.

          21April 2023; Colombo – SriLankan Airlines would like to clarify the circumstances of the five grounded aircraft in response to certain recent misleading news items that have been published on the subject.

          The aircraft, belonging to the Airbus A320 NEO family, are currently awaiting engines after shop visits as the global industry faces a shortage of engines and long lead times for engine repairs for this type of aircraft as a result of a technical reliability issue.

          SriLankan Airlines is currently working with its suppliers to work out a solution and the global supply of engines is also expected to improve in the months ahead. SriLankan Airlines can therefore confirm that the aircraft are on ground owing to a global shortage and not because of a lack of finances as incorrectly stated in some news reports.

            Fitsair 4R-EXR just arrived at Colombo as 8D332 flew from some where near Seychelles. Any idea where this flight actually coming from?

                  According to UL's last RFP to lease 5 A330s, (If the RFP was a success) ALT ( the next A330 aircraft) will join the fleet by the end of may this year.
                  and
                  I think Srilankan Should terminate the lease on ANA, she was grounded that it should be. I hope ANE,ANF will come back to service soon otherwise Srilankan has to pay USD 2M for all 5 grounded A320/1 neos
                  I heard almost 11 aircraft are due to leave SriLankan Airlines fleet by next year. I think UL is trying to highly utilize the fleet which are going to be retired.

                  is 4R-ABM operated its last flight for UL yesterday?

                    One NEO will be reactivated again soon, possibly 4R-ANB. ALA and ABQ are officially out. ABQ currently undergoing pre-lease return checks.

                        If they're retiring ABM, what will they do for replacement for the moment?
