Yes. SriLankan Capt, First Officer and a Cruise Pilot. They'll return to CMB via ALK554. Good that ALJ is leaving. Gave lots of issues in maintenance.

Rwandair

Amazing to see Rwandair at CMB! Definitely one of the better and most underrated airlines in Africa

Hope they would consider to commence scheduled services in the future ... would be great to fly via Kigali

Registration - 9XR-WR came to Colombo from Kigali via Nairobi. I think it was carrying 6 Sri Lankans from Rwanda to Sri Lanka.

Meanwhile, 30 from Oman, six from Maldives, 22 from Italy, one from Pakistan, six from Rwanda, four from Pakistan, 290 from India, six from Germany and 50 from UAE are expected to arrive in the country within the day.

Yes, looks like all the 330s are active except 4R-ALC. showing no flights since June '20, Is it due to having technical problems?
