  • For secondary airport they should have invested money on the below airport and JAF rather than building an airport in wilderness

      While extremely rare, in the event of a dual flame out, that is the typical distance the flight crew will have in hand to work with.

      ETOPS rating refers to the maximum duration a single engine operation is sanctioned, in the event of a single engine flame out.

      As for keeping the flight deck (EFIS) powered up I think the sequence is: Engine 1-->Engine 2---> APU---> Battery backup---> RAT

      Yup after the Gimli Glider incident almost all the routes are planned to face the worst. I think there is a specific altitude limitation to start the APU during the flight.

        In case if a air craft fail both the engines Middle of ocean how can they handle? Like next airport is after 2000 km
        The chance of a simultaneous dual engine failure are so low that they can be disregarded. The only real - world reason this would ever happen is running out of fuel.

        Depending on the certification the aircraft needs to be within a certain distance of an alternate airport at all times.

        Normally this is 1 hour flying time on 1 engine (approximately 400nm).

        If operating under ETOPS (now called LROPS) you can have this requirement increased to 2,3 or even more hours with the distance from a alternate airport increasing. Extra crew training is required and and extra fuel may be required to cover a diversion scenario. There is also additional maintenance requirements for the engines.

        Flying across the Arabian Sea (at least the N part) can be done without LROPS using Muscat/Karachi/Mumbai/Bangalore.

              • This shows that none of the issues are being tackled by the UL Management. The reduction in the losses basically comes from a lower fuel price.

                'Big Talk' Ajith Dias is very quiet these days.

                I know it's possible to 'hedge' the U$ exchange rate - just don't know if it can be done with the Rupee. Given the state of the country this is going to be an ongoing issue.

                It's also unclear what has happened with all the accumulated losses at Mihin Lanka - my guess is they've just rolled them into the losses at UL. Next year's financials will probably be even worse as a result.

                It's a complete disaster for the people of Sri Lanka - the sooner this is closed down the better imho.

                • Sri Lanka will not be going for a second round of bidding to seek a partner for the state-run SriLankan Airlines, as priority will be given to market the airline directly to global airlines, State Enterprise Development Deputy Minister Eran Wickramaratne said. ..


                  Sri Lanka will not be going for a second round of bidding to seek a partner for the state-run SriLankan Airlines, as priority will be given to market the airline directly to global airlines, State Enterprise Development Deputy Minister Eran Wickramaratne said. Wickramaratne’s superior, State Enterprise Development Minister Kabir Hashim, in mid-January said if a candidate from the first round of bidding could not be shortlisted within a fortnight, the Prime Minister had instructed a three-member ministerial committee to call for fresh bids. “That’s a misunderstanding. We’re going for discussions with others. There’s no point of going again for bidding because the parties have seen this and they haven’t put their proposals, so we’re going for discussions,” Wickramaratne told Mirror Business. He said that the US-based investment giant, Texas Pacific Group (TPG), is now the only shortlisted candidate from the first round of bidding and refuted the allegations that the controversial primary dealer, Perpetual Treasuries, has formed a consortium with the US-based TPG to takeover SriLankan. Last month, Hashim said there were three shortlisted candidates including TPG, a consortium led by a Maldivian party and PeaceAir, a company owned by a Sri Lankan. Wickramaratne noted that TPG has no airline management experience and therefore, the discussions are ongoing between the state and TPG on what steps to take to bridge the gap. “They have to contract it or we’ll have to contract it from somewhere—technical assistance. As opposed to that, if you get an airline, the airline will have those things, but they will not have the money to invest. So, when we’re looking at a solution sometimes we need more than one party,” he said. However, he said that both TPG and the government may not have the same plans with regard to SriLankan. “We don’t even know if we will have a deal ultimately, depending on their conditions and our conditions,” he said. Wickramaratne said that the government is directly marketing SriLankan to global airlines now, since the tender process had not brought the most optimal result for the country. He noted that discussions are currently ongoing with some airlines but they are at initial stages. “Ultimately it depends on what’s on offer, what the terms are. We’re in the process of discussion. We can’t know the best deal until we know everything that’s really available. This process is very long,” he said. SriLankan has become a massive burden on the island nation’s economy with mounting debts as a result of mismanagement and politicization by successive governments.
                  here is my 2 cents ^^^ GOSL "you" are not a position in authority to set condition on foreign investment for UL...as said in these column no investor is ready to take over your airline with the bloated head counts, ridiculous debts and with militant unions and become a minority shareholder...simply to put you can sleep with your ASAs there is no value...investors are not in a charity business they are responsible for their shareholders unlike GOSL



                  229630.html

                  ^^^ and you fellows @ APGL make sure you do your strike...then at least painfully and very rapidly company could be closed down

                    Agree completely - they can't even give the Airline away!

                    No Airline on the planet will touch this - this approach has already been tried.

                    Epic Fail!

                        ALN will come within maybe the next week I guess. No confirmed date. Yes, it will be in the same way as it was before.

                          Does anyone know the kind of offer that TPG made? I mean - is there any info about the amount of equity in UL that TPG asked for, and if UL Catering and Cargo are part of the equation? Also - is TPG interested in owning any stake(s) in one or both of the international airports? (I'm wondering about the airports because TPG was bidding for a stake in Mumbai airport, just a few months ago).
