Lots of surprise guest these days! I think CGK is a technical stop for this flight? Do you know where it originally departed? It seems its with New Zealand aircraft registration.

What is registration of this plane? Technical stops have been planned with every 3/4 hours flying time. Is it old B737?

Hi Umedha, is it the first time New Zealand Aircraft visiting Colombo from Auckland? If i recall it correctly, NZ took delivery of their small plane in AKL via CMB. Do you know why Toll Aviation ferrying this B737 to Bucharest?

Hey Banu, the recent 757 SX-APX that got it ferried from Europe via CMB 2 weeks ago which belongs to Olympus Airways would have replaced this Toll 737 possibly end of lease.

I was thinking SX-APX was carrying cargo to Sri Lanka

Thanks for confirming SX-APX came to CMB to do technical stop before heading to New Zealand

. Do you know where SX-APX was landed in New Zealand from CMB. Where it did the technical stop between CMB & New Zealand flight?

According to Skyliners, ZK-TLE is going to be painted in Bucharest and to be delivered Greek Operator. Not sure which Greek airline is that?

I can see on FR24, two weekly Maldivian Airlines flights between HRI and MLE. But there is no official announcement about this new route on Maldivian Airlines website?
