Good move Fitsair operating on A321.Which airline operated this A321 before? Will it get Fitsair livery?

According to Asela this aircraft was in operation for Thomas Cook
I too agree that this is definitely a good move with the huge potential for Cargo Capacity and Demand in the region... Fits Air missed out on quite a bit of the demand when they returned their MD82 back after lease expiry

I feel they should paint this in Fits Air colors and probably may surprise all of us with a new livery because in my opinion their current Cessna/ATR livery is a bit too basic

I saw the picture of Fitsair A321. Really disappointing the aircraft doesn't have large cargo deck door. It seems the seats have been removed from the passenger aircraft for cargo operations? What a waste ! Fitsair would've leased the dedicated cargo aircraft.

Since it's a wet lease I doubt they'll paint.

That's true

British Airways have launched Male' flights from London Heathrow with two weekly B777-300ER. Previously Male' flights were operated from London Gatwick. Will it be threat for SriLankan Airlines flights operating to London Heathrow? any possibility British Airways is flying London Heathrow-Male'-Colombo route ?
