    Haleef thank you for your reply!! This is actually the first time i noticed military traffic in Sri Lanka appear on FR24.

        Guys,

        Here are few more pictures of ex-Mihin A320 which has been painted very recently in SriLankan Airlines Livery.

        I am wondering why they havn't painted the under belly sticker on 4R-MRE?

          Dad flew with MRD today in UL scheme. Useless interior still, no proper IFE also. MRD also doesn't have the belly sticker. Probably I think because still registration isn't in SriLankan one but still in Mihin.. Lease period of these aircraft have been extended as well

            Feel bad to hear about the interior conditions. Hope they will use these aircraft for only short haul routes.

            Do you know which year does the leases of MRD & MRE are going to be expired?

                I have no information about the lease expiration dates. But I don't think there would be any changes in the IFE or the interior of MRE and MRD and yes they are always used on short haul routes

                      Seems like a Malaysian registration. Probably a diversion only.
                      [edit] As per sources AK11 is the flight from KUL to MAA, so definitely a diversion.

                        Austrian Airlines is operating B777 on Colombo route from today. Could you please post this aircraft movement from FR24? What is the aircraft rego?

                            Etihad A380 as ETD89D from SYD to AUH will be diverting to CMB at around 2100hrs today. Unconfirmed, but just to keep you guys informed. Not sure of the reason why. If it happens to land, guys at the airport please try to get some pictures of it.
