    More wishful thinking imho - the truth is that there is no more money. It's all been spent or stolen.

    What do you think it will cost to train people? For one aircraft.
    What do you think starting a new route costs?

    There has been zero transparency on the entire $2.3Billion aircraft order. To the best of my knowledge there is no investigation just a lot of talk.

    Still no annual report published - and no explanation. Something is obviously being hidden - journalists need to start investigating and asking questions.

    Bankruptcy is the only way forward imho - time to drain the swamp!
    Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this business

      Yes they probably should start a "N" Series with the addition of the A320Neo's and A321Neo's
      A rego such as 4R-NAA would do

        I don't think it would be profitable to have scheduled flights to MEL in the long term, the reason being only a small number of travelers from CMB.
        They could possibly target a direct flight around 4 times a week on a seasonal basis similar to KLM serving CMB from AMS and utilize the A350 to LHR as well.
        Maybe add another route or two preferably in Europe because that is where revenue will flow in from. In my opinion terminating CDG and FRA is one of the most stupidest decisions ever!

          But from the beginning thr First Letter "A" represent the airline which is Air Lanka (Now SriLankan) So if they introduce a new letter instead of A It'll ruin the series :-/

          • So guys, um what's happening to the second A350 MSN55? Is it a must for SriLankan to have to take this Airbus, or is AerCap only asking the Airline to take it? What's the latest? Have they fitted wingtips or engines?

              hello haleef, MSN 55 is already wearing the winglets and engines. What does UL going to do with single A350?

                Hello! Thanks for the quick response and info! My bad, that was MSN60 which was without engines and winglets if I'm not wrong. Anyhoo, yes I don't know if UL takes the A350, what will they ever do. But as of earlier I saw some rumors stating that AerCap wants UL to take the A350 on long lease, so what does that mean? Does SriLankan have to take it or can they deny this?

                  Isnt there a possibility of UL taking the A350 and sub-leasing it to another airline like 4R-ALN?
                  KU is looking out for A350's at the moment

                                Thank you ever so much for sharing the picture.

                                I think the tail fin is for MSN7486 (First A320neo for SriLankan Airlines).

                                Any sign of the fuselage sections of MSN7486 in Hamburg ?

                                Looking forward to see more pictures and updates
