    A cornerstone of UL's business plan is to connect secondary Indian cities to it's mid and long-haul destinations. Ideally UL needs to increase its frequency to its Indian destinations to double-daily so that passengers can connect through Colombo without long transfer times on both their inbound and outbound journey.
    Please find the pre-covid flight sked for UL : https://lankaaviator.com/flightinfo/...an-nov2018.pdf . UL better to restore frequencies to India, Far East & Middle East soon.

    There are news international airlines are leaving FRA due to high airport fees. Not sure if it's impacting UL, UL have plans to increase FRA to 4 weekly next year.

    Delivery should be on 15th Oct. 2024, tentatively.
    Any update on delivery of 4R-ALT ? I heard it's still parked in the same location in TEV. Can anyone confirm ? I wonder the aircraft delivery also delayed until general election over?

    Restructuring of all state enterprises on hold till election is over on Nov 14. The official said the national carrier would not be sold off , but the new model of development would be taken after consultation with the new management appointed by the government recently .

    Just a moment...

    Will keep you all posted, after the finalized. Still those routes are pending due to slot availability.

    I hope if UL stops flying to small indian cities, like IXM TRV TRZ, VTZ, and focus on long haul routes like LHR FRA CDG, NRT, AMS, MXP Then 8D can takeover these routes.

    However As per the Winter schedule DAC frequency is increased, from 2 weekly to 3 weekly flights. Time was changed and flight number was changed from 8D911/2 to 8D931/2.
    No any frequency changes in CMB DXB CMB.
    UL operated VTZ only from 2017 to 2019. If 8D have issues finding slots externally, why can't they lease the slots from SL-Gov as MJ operated 4 weekly to SHJ and UL operated double daily to TRV and almost daily to CCJ in the past. UL doesn't currently fly to SHJ and CCJ and hardly using the full slots at TRV. May be UL can do 1 daily and 8D can do 1 daily to TRV. Also Better 8D & UL enter with codeshare agreement too.

    It is important 8D need to depart CMB between 7-9am & 12-14pm for CCJ & TRV flights and 18-19 for SHJ flights to give better connections for the pax.

    Any idea why 4R-EXS is not flying recently?
