Sri Lanka Aviation

SriLankan Airlines will have to slash a massive 620 flights off its schedule to accommodate the daytime renovation of the airport runway after agencies overrode the carrier’s request for construction to be shifted to night hours.

A suggestion could be to indeed operate from MRIA where Sri Lankan could base a few of their Airbus A320-200's operate Short Haul flights from for example those to Chennai,Bangalore,Trichy, Trivandrum,Cochin and Male.

Fly in the passengers in and out Ratmalana probably on a leased Q400 aircraft Helitours too have 2 MA60's that can be used , this maybe more cost effective than having to cancel flights

Correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't MRE being returned along with MRF?

I think -MRC is going away. It hasn't been flying for a long time

Rahal,

4R-ALL is not flying since 23-Oct. Has it been taken out of the service for leasing the aircraft to PIA ?

Any idea why Mihin Lanka aircraft are being painted in white livery? I thought these aircraft going to get painted in SriLankan colors? Will they change cabin of Mihin aircraft so it will match the SriLankan.

According to flightglobal, SriLankan will get 4 x A321neos next year. Is it true? Its already been reported SriLankan will get 6 x A320neos and the delivery starting from end of Jan 2017 to Jan 2018. So that means SriLankan is getting the both 6 x 320neos and 4 x A321neos?

As far as I know two A330-300s will be taken out from service once UL discontinue Paris and Frankfurt flights in Nov 2016. Please confirm if I am right?

UL website is mentioning its operating A320 Sharklets on Daily flights to Abu Dhabi and Kuala Lumpur from 1 Feb 2017.

I think we will be getting 320neos. UL website probably has got confused with the sharklet and neo version, cause it looks just the same, but a few performance and few other differences in it.
