AC would not operate to CMB...Delhi/YYZ is over year old, they recently launched Delhi/YVR and they are launching BOM next year...Pax to CMB they handover to UL or W9. Most airline now prefer to operate to Indian Airport than CMB...due to the fact CMB is very expensive. Same goes to LHComment

LH starting flights to Colombo would be another step in getting frequent and easy connections to The Americas. Lufthansa already operates a 744 and 748 from BOM to FRA and MUC. Air Canada has connections with Srilankan via Frankfurt. I hope they continue the codeshare through another destination (PEK, PVG, HKG, NRT etc)Comment

What's the airline that carries the most amount of Pax out of CMB after UL? EK or QR?Comment
-
In my opinion Lufthansa or its subsidery airline should serve the flights between Germany and Colombo. Before Colombo Airport attack in 2001, UL used to serve 4 weekly on FRA-CMB, DE used to serve 2 weekly on FRA-CMB, 1 weekly MUC-CMB, 1 weekly DUS-CMB and 1 weekly TXL-CMB.
I think now LH can serve FRA-CMB with three weekly A330-300.Comment

Emirates has 22 Weekly flights connecting CMB to DXB and a daily schedule from CMB to SIN with 5th freedom flights also to MLE en-route to DXB and vice-versa all on their 777's
While QR operated 3 flights per day operated on their A346 (total of 21 flights per week)
So basically EK has the highest yield flying in and out of CMB
QR would come in second and AK would probably come in 3rd with 10 flights weekly, why AK would be in third is that they operate both A320's and A330's to CMB compared to MH which operate 10 flights themselves but on their 737-800's
Correct me if im wrong

Thomson Airways sends B787-8 to CMB from LGW every Tuesdays. Addionally Thomson Airways is going to operate B787-9 to CMB from Stockholm and Helsinki from December 2016.I didn't see LOT is flying CMB this Winter 2016. Any idea? Travel Service Airlines was sending a charter with B737 from Warsaw for Colombo via Bahrain few weeks ago. But the Travel Service Airlines B737 was diverted to MCT due to techinical issue and it didn't finally fly to CMB. All those passengers were sent from MCT to CMB onboard Oman Air. On that occasion, Oman Air was flying CMB with B787-8 to carry more Travel Service Airlines's passengers. Oman Air currently use B737 to CMB on their double daily flights.Comment
