        Need a huge upgrade to the Jaffna airport if passenger jets are coming to there. at least a Code 4E runway. Probably Fits 8D will lease a A330 for Jeddah flights.
        President Ranil Wickremesinghe has announced in his budget speech that he has allocated Rs 2 billion to construct another international airport at Hingurakgoda (Minneriya).

        Really?

                        UL will not use ALK as their aircraft reg number, because of the ICAO code of UL is also ALK.

                          • UL need at least 2 or 3 more Airbus 330 air crafts to have a smooth medium to long haul schedule. Without proposed additional flights To NRT and SYD still UL have to cancel or delay long haul flights to Europe and Australia on some days due to shortage of air crafts.

                              According to Air Service Agreement 2020, only Max 11 Total flights are allowed to operate between Australia and Sri Lanka. UL is currently flying 7 weekly to MEL and 3 weekly to SYD. From Jan23, UL is adding 1 frequency to SYD to make it 4 weekly. I believe Sri Lanka has to increase the regulated capacity with Australia to increase more flights over there.

                              Is UL doing well on SYD & MEL routes?
