    Visits Colombo frequently. Most of the time for refueling. ER-BYK and ER-BAS both come here. Recently ER-BAS had broken down at CMB and BYK brought a spare engine for it. Was a really cool sight honestly, Antonov 124, A340, B747s, even National's 744, were all present at VCBI.

          Thanks Guys! German Airforce A400 was also spotted in CMB from FR24 yesterday or day before. RAF A400 just left flying towards South-West and wondering where its heading. Any reasons for these A400 visits?

          ​Nice to know more airlines are using CMB! Which airline flew A340 to CMB recently? Does CX still fly B74F here at CMB ?

                    Yeah it's BBN Airlines. Operating out of CMB to MLE. They are operating under a FAOC if I'm not mistaken. Probably special approval.

                      By the looks its a cargo aircraft based in CMB recently and operating between CMB and MLE since 05-Oct. Nice to see another freighter flights are back in Sri Lanka. I really wonder if this is operated by Fitsair or new cargo airline in Sri Lanka that hired the Indonesian B73F for their freighter ops? can anyone give us more info?

                          Thanks WizzWaveSien for sharing photos with us! Are you on the way to CMB? Nice to see A380 and B748 parked next to each other.

                              Safe flight! Wondering why you didn't book ICN-CMB nonstop on UL? Eagerly waiting for more photos and especially plenty of photos from CMB.

                                Thank you! the reason I didn't book ICN-CMB nonstop is because I got a better deal on ICN-KUL-CMB route, was almost 20 to 40 percent cheaper than ULs, so I booked it. Got it at 80K LKR. very good deal in my opinion.

                                I'll try to send some pics at KUL and CMB, but I will probably be very tired! so i'll probably be dozing off..
