    Hi everyone! Just some pictures and review about Turkish airlines from Birmingham to colombo.New aircraft, well maintained, food was great and on a over over night morning arrival flight they have served two meals with snacks and very friendly cabin crew. Turkish Istanbul airport is very clean and beautiful airport with clear guidance for passengers. I can rate 10 out of 9.

      Can you guys please update here if you notice any emergency landings ?
      also note: apparently a QF flight to CDG diverted straight back from roughly the same area above to where it came from

              Enroute to Bordeaux to help fight fires for this Summer season. It happens annually. Previous set of 20 Air Tractors went to Greece a few weeks ago.

                      is VT-JRB still AOG in LHR?
                      VT-JRB was ferried from LHR-DEL on the 16-Apr after AOG incident. I see VT-JRB is currently flying revenue flights as normal.

                      Today 10:30am London time, I saw 2 x SQ A380s are parked at LHR. As per LHR schedule, one SQ A380 in the morning and one SQ A380 in the afternoon. Is one of them currently in AOG?

                      SQ A380s

                          Why Were 3 SriLankan Flights Diverted to India? Is Mattala Stalled by a Broken Elephant Fence? - Aviation Voice

                          On 5th May 2025, 03 SriLankan Airlines flights (UL196/ UL172/ UL124) bound for Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) were diverted to Thiruvananthapuram International Airport in India due to adverse weather conditions over Colombo. However, questions have arisen regarding why these flights were not redirected to the Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport (MRIA) within Sri Lanka. According to […]

                          now we know why.
                          HRI is "closed" from 1800 to 0600 due to broken elephant fences.

                            not that, I know that airframe. I mean the one you find halfway through the photos- it's completely brown, not weathered like F-GTOM.
                            edit: it's the 9th photo i'm talking about.
