      I love the 777-300ER in Biman's colours. It's great that they chose to go back to their old livery. The new one never quite worked, but the new makeover of the old colours is quite nice, particularly on these new birds. It's sad to see the departure of the old DC-10s. It was always fun to hear those old birds fire up to full power with a reassuring roar!

            It was dryleased from Jet Airways. The turkish registration is yet to be applied on it.

              Why Jet Airways is leasing their B777-300 to other airline ? I thought Jet Airways has a busy flight schedule for long-haul services.

                Jet Airways actually bought too many A330s and B777. They have started leasing them out to Turkish and Etihad to make up for loss in revenue.

                    I think some of Turkish 777-300ERs still had the Indian flight on them for a while when they first received them on lease from Jet Airways, am I correct?

                      Awesome shots Banuthev! Nice to see that UL is coming during the day, which makes for great photo opportunities. What kind of camera and lens do you use to take these shots?

                          Thanks sfernando34! It's indeed a great opportunity to catch SriLankan Airlines during the day when UL505/6 operate for peak travel season. My Nikon Camera Lenses 55mm to 300mm. Today UL505/6 operated on 4R-ALG!

                          Good News! I am flying to Toulouse to take photos of SriLankan new A333 in Sep 2014..
