        FlightRadar24 shows P2-ATR an ATR72-600 of Airlines PNG en route from MCT
        I presume this being a ferry flight and their first ATR-72 being delivered to Port Moresbey ....

          Yes it's a ferry flight being delivered from TLS to Port Moresbey via CAI, MCT, CMB. If i'm not mistaken it will have stopover in two/three places between CMB and Port Moresbey. I am so glad when i see CMB is getting busy in aircraft movements (two flights are taking off and two flights are on the way for landing). What time you got this from FR24?

          It's a beauty. Does anybody have picture of P2-ATR from CMB?

                  Pretty Confused as Aviation Voice says that it was diverted due to Heavy Mist at CMB

                    I am curious to know why only UL230 was diverted to HRI when other flights landed at CMB safely. I think last month UL504 diverted to HRI for some reason. it's kind of mystery that makes me think it's being done deliberately for publicity of HRI where Rotanajet is the only airline operate 3 weekly flights.

                        Yes banuthev as I felt I think there is something behind the scene thing going on.


                        The Air India A321 which arrived just after UL230, managed to land successfully. Why didn't UL230 tried for another approach instead of diverting to HRIA just after first attempt ?? Fuel problem ?? No it cant be the reason... Because the aircraft traveled much more time than a second approach.... And also after the missed approach the aircraft just turned left to intercept runway 22 ILS but again made a u turn diverting to Mattala.

                        • Yep I also noted the same thing.. this would have been some kind purposeful attempt..
                          Otherwise how can an indian plane land saftly while local flight going away..

                          • By the way.. it is pretty interesting to see CMB is getting busy..
                            almost all the time at least there is one flight in closet of CMB (in bound/outbound or at the air port..)
