Agree!

I wonder why capacity on KWI route has been reduced by changing the aircraft type A332 to A320NEO? Also planned increasing flights to DXB and DOH seems to be cancelled or postponed.

By looking at above table, I think only 3 x A332s are in service in NW23. I heard one A330 is going to leased end of this month. Any update?

Is it good idea UL is increasing flights to ICN ?

Increasing flights is a good move . But most important is punctual of the flights . Today morning and last night UL utter delayed long haul flights. UL454 NRT , UL604 MEL , UL 606 SYD . Delaying flights is a very bad patch for growth of Airline

I can see only 18 aircraft are active in the SriLankan Airlines Fleet : https://www.lankaaviator.com/fleet

A newly leased A330 would also arrive taking the fleet to 20 aircraft.

Cathay Pacific is planning to resume Colombo with 3 weekly A330-300 from Feb 2024. I wonder why Colombo has been postponed until Feb 2024?
