Do we still need a permission for Plane Spotting if we are taking photos from Negombo Lagoon which is opposite to the runway? Because I am planning to come Katunayake for plane spotting in next two weeks.

You can take photos from Negombo Lagoon but you have to get permission to get closer to the runway! I took some shots couple of months back and they saw my camera and told me to delete it. So, it is better to get approval before taking some shots.

What's a point of paying the parking charge for the aircraft which can't fly. They probably can keep the aircraft in aircraft museum or in aircraft spectators gallery

In the picture, SriLankan Airlines A320 and A332 at Colombo Airport [CMB].. It looks like AASL still don't allow people to take pictures in the terminal and launges, as they have a "No Photos" sign on the window.

ancient laws and rules .. people don't need to take photos, if they want to take down something .. (no offense)

This kind of silly stuff must be stopped, so cops focus on more important stuff ..

Come to KUL or SIN, you will see a lot of photographers and enthusiasts parked with dozens and dozens of cameras, especially in SIN at the approach path the plane is just about 200 feet over your head, you could touch it with a stick (kidding..

Nobody cares ...

err .. more often, if there is some lease dispute, planes get stuck.. I suspect it is the same here too

Some Aircraft lessors are known to write off their loss, but come out smiling as they have run the lessee to ground ..

Exactly! FYI, you have to get permission to be this close to the runway!

London to Colombo Trip Pictures

On 11th Sep 2013, I flew from London Heathrow to Colombo on SriLankan Airlines, UL504, A332 (4R-ALJ). UL504 from London to Colombo, a 75% loaded flight. Most of the passengers are British Holiday makers and other Sri Lankan Nationals (VFR). My flight 504 was 1 hours late departure from London but it touched down ontime in Colombo. I enjoyed the inflight services.

I hope you guys like the CMB pictures!!

AirAsia X has launched flights to two new destinations on 28 September. From Kuala Lumpur (KUL) the airline has started operations to Colombo (CMB) in Sri Lanka, and Male (MLE) in the Maldives. However, the A330-operated flights are linked such that both destinations are served four times weekly, but on two of the four weekly flights the one destination is served via the other. In other words there are twice-weekly flights (Thursdays and Sundays) that operate Kuala Lumpur-Colombo-Male-Kuala Lumpur, and twice-weekly flights (Tuesdays and Fridays) that operate Kuala Lumpur-Male-Colombo-Kuala Lumpur. Competition on both routes is provided by Malaysia Airlines with daily flights, while SriLankan Airlines serves the Colombo route with twice-daily flights.

Any Pictures of Air Asia X from Colombo ?
