    According to this source, John Kerrys will be visiting Colombo on the 2nd May 2015. Any chance to see "Air Force One" in Colombo? Did "Air Force One" ever flew to Colombo in the past ? http://www.state.gov/r/pa/prs/ps/2015/04/241144.htm

    • He will probably use one of these. This is what Hillary Clinton used on her Bangladesh visit when she was the Secretary of State

            John Kerry does not us AIR FORCE ONE, that's only used by the President. Kerry uses an old US Airforce Boeing 757.

            Secretary of State John Kerry's aging Air Force Boeing 757 was grounded on Thursday with a mechanical problem in Vienna.

            • Mihin Lanka, the budget airline arm of SriLankan Airlines would continue and the airline would take delivery of two more aircraft by the end of the year.Chairman SriLankan Airlines, Ajith Dias, speaking to Daily News Business at the Sancharaka Udawa exhibition at BMICH on Friday said that the airline under their route expansion program would soon add Kolkata to their radar.

              "We will also increase flights to Dacca very soon." He however said that they would not have any stopovers at the Mattala Rajapaksa Airport as its not a viable venture.

              He said that Kathmandu in Nepal too was in focus but was currently being delayed due to a technical issue. (This was prior to the earth quake that struck its capital on Saturday)

                • Everyone was blaming the misfortune of UL on MR and his transgressions, but the new government has done nothing of substance to change the status quo.

                  Instead of the BIL of the president, now it is run by PM's buddy from school days.

                  They still have most of the same people and certainly the same policies.

                  UL should be fully privatized or sold completely. That is the only way to stop hemorrhaging.

                  • Malaysia Airlines fleet restructuring

                    Malaysia Airlines is offering for sale or lease all six of its Airbus A380s, its two Boeing 747-400Fs and four Airbus A330-200Fs and four Boeing 777-200ERs.

                    Elimination of the freighters wipes out MASCargo.

                    4 - Boeing 777-200ER - Immediate Sale

                        I was also thinking UL should be leasing couple of B777-200ERs for London LHR route. Unfortunately It appears to be it's not practically possible to get Boeing to the UL fleet due to their financial situation. I think UL better maintain the A320s, A332s & A333s until they return to profit-period when they can think about adding some A350-900s. Frequency of flights have to increased to London where they have 11 slots at the moment but only 7 slots currently being used by UL if i am not mistaken.

                          Reports also state that MASKargo would be wiped out as they'd be Selling their 747-400's and a few A330's too

                            Me too surprised 4R-ALG is not flying since 27/4/2015. It appears to be this aircraft still grounded in Shanghai. Any idea what happened to this aircraft? also why UL had so many breakdowns recently?

                                if 340-600 is such a bad Aircraft how Lufthansa having 25+ of those?
