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?

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.

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