4R-ULE (cn 193P-1062) Plane was delivered to ANA in 1974 as JA8503 and went to Air Lanka 4R-ULE in '83. Stored in Abu Dhabi from '99 and broken up in 2002.
On 26th May 2010, I flew from Colombo Bandaranaike to Kuwait city on Kuwait Airways, KU362, A313 (9K-ALC | Kazma). KU362 from Colombo to Kuwait, a full loaded flight. Most of the passengers are House Maids , other Sri Lankan Migrant workers and a very few tourists. Colombo Bandaranaike looked great and clean. According to Check-in queues I could say AirArabia, Qatar Airways, Royal Jordanian and SriLankan (Abu Dhabi) flights are running in full-load. All the airbridges are in use.
